Obituary

It is with heavy hearts we announce the passing of Donna M. McLaren, who left us peacefully on June 26, 2025, at Hospice Wellington in Guelph, just shy of her 78th year. Donna is now happily reunited with her beloved husband, Philip, ready for their next adventure together. She’ll be deeply missed by her daughters, Tammy (Tilbert) Hart and Tracey (Rick) Gilbert, who will carry her spirit forward. Her grandchildren, Jessica, Justine, and Cody, along with her great-grandchildren, Lily and Carlee, will forever cherish memories of her love and laughter. Donna was predeceased by her loving parents, Len and Alice (Breese) Kargus, and her cherished grandson, Aaron Kyle. A true enthusiast, Donna had a special place in her heart for bingo, a game she approached with lively spirit and always a twinkle in her eye. The family wishes to express their heartfelt appreciation to the dedicated staff at Hospice Wellington for their incredible support and care. In keeping with Donna’s wishes, cremation has taken place, and no funeral service will be held. As Donna would have wanted, we ask that you consider a memorial donation to Hospice Wellington, a place that provided such comfort, if you wish to honour her memory.
