SPENCER, Dona

On Wednesday, April 5 th , 2023 we lost a wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, aunt and friend. Dona Cameron Spencer (nee McRae), of New Liskeard, Ontario, passed away at the age of 94 years. 

Dona was born on July 21 st , 1928, to Donald and Annie (nee Cameron) McRae in Matheson, Ontario, and later moved with her family to New Liskeard. After graduation Dona found employment in the community, the last of which was at New Liskeard Secondary School, before retiring in 1986. Dona was active in the community through her involvement as a volunteer and choir member with St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church, of which she was the longest attending member.

Dona will be lovingly remembered by Gordon, her husband of 74 years; her children Barbara Duval (Yvon) and Brian (Lisa); grandchildren Janna Duval and David Duval (Pama-Lyn); and her great-grandchildren Hunter, Sawyer, and Zoey Duval, as well as numerous relatives and friends.

Dona was predeceased by her parents, Donald and Annie McRae; and her sister and brother-in-law, Dorothy and Verdun Pacey.
