GILES (NEE BURDICK), Donna Lynne

It is with heavy hearts and great sadness that the family announces her passing at the Timmins and District Hospital on Monday, January 29 th at the age of 72 years.

Donna is predeceased by her parents Andrew Burdick and Mary Burdick (nee Komaike) and her father and mother-in-law Keith Giles and Helen Giles (nee Murray). Cherished wife of Dana Giles. Devoted, generous and caring mother of Jason Lehman (Miranda), Adam Lehman (Elaine), Matthew Lehman (Vicki), Brenden Giles (Jen) and Samantha Giles (Dan).

She also leaves behind many nieces, nephews, cousins and friends that will miss her dearly.

Our dearest mother will be in our hearts forever and always.

The family would like to thank the doctors and nurses on the 2 nd floor ICU and Medical B at Timmins and District Hospital for their care and compassion during her stay over the last weeks.
