Obituary for Donna Thibodeau (Gordon)
THIBODEAU, Donna Wendy (Née GORDON)
What happens when a boy walks into a bar in Onaping and finds a girl on a payphone and asks her to go for a ride to Dowling? She hangs up the phone and goes for a ride that lasts her lifetime.
Donna would like to let you know that her work here on earth is done. She received a call from heaven, an offer she could not refuse. Her new mission takes her to a wonderful place where she will be reunited with family and friends she has not seen in a long time, with music, laughter, dancing, singing, love and reading to her heart’s content.
We will remember her smile, her strong faith, love for God, her thoughtfulness, her marvellous memory, her love for her grandchildren, and every card she sent, never forgetting a birthday, anniversary, or special event; she was the queen of sending greeting cards.
In Loving Memory of Donna Wendy Thibodeau (nee Gordon) age, 63 years died peacefully at her home, The Second Chance Ranch surrounded by her family and friends after her courageous battle with Leukemia.
Cherished wife of Paul for 45 years. Devoted mother of John Paul (Tara) of Calgary, Rebecca Wilson (Michael) and Craig of Sudbury. Incredible Memere to her grandchildren who were the light of her life, Arianna, Isaac, Isabella, Evan, Gordon, and Savannah. Special Auntie to Brady Wilson, Samantha Brazeau-Wilson and Aunt and Godmother to Memphis Andrews.
Dear daughter of John Thomas and Ruth Marie “Fay” (St. Jean) Gordon both predeceased. Dear sister of Stewart (Wendy) Gordon of Dowling, Tim (Lise) Gordon of Sudbury, Darlene (Shawn) Gray of Onaping, Leonard (Mariette) Gordon of Timmins and Dolly (Chris) Andrews of Chelmsford. Predeceased by her sister and Brother In Law, Debbie & Bruce Wilson.
Dear sister-in-law of Bobby (Pirjo) Thibodeau of Azilda, Wayne (Barbara) Thibodeau of Sudbury and Larry (Susan) Thibodeau of Windy Lake.
Donna also leaves behind many nieces and nephews whose birthdays and special dates she never missed, Ryan Wilson, Kory Wilson, Travis Gordon, Megan Judd, Carolyn McKinley, Deborah Gordon, Jason Gordon, Jennifer Mousseau, Michael Raspuszka, Jenn Mallette, Pam Evelegh-Asdrubolini, Sean Gray, Alicia Marshall, Natalie Larose, Jason Larose, Chad Thibodeau, Kris Thibodeau, Lisa Thibodeau, Scott Kivisto, Tara Hindle, Becky Calbakas, Cindy Martin.
A thank you from the whole family to Tammy Luhta for being her support throughout and into her final hours. She will be lovingly remembered by her special friends, Cheryl Bedford, Willeen McAnaul-Bowland, Cindy O’Bumsawin, Lois Unwin, and Carole Rheaume.
All these people, and many more, will forever be changed all because she chose to hang up the phone and go for a ride.
