Obituary

Cormier, Donna Jean

Peacefully, after a short but valiant battle, following a long gradual decline with Alzheimer’s, Donna passed with family present on Thursday May 1, 2025, at Bluewater Health in Sarnia, at the age of 86. Donna was the beloved wife of the late Joseph (Joe) Cormier (2000). Loving mother of Bonnie Kerr (the late Robert (2017)), Mark Cormier and his wife Louise, and Brenda McCormack and her husband Cameron. Cherished nana of Mitchell Kerr and his wife Erin Adlakha, Nicole Kerr and her husband Nick Bowes-Henry, Michelle McLaughlin and her husband Cory, Myles Cormier and his partner Kat Maciulis, Luc McCormack and his partner Marlena Few, and Gabriel McCormack. Adored grams of Marah, Davis, Lochlan, and Lucy. She is survived by her siblings Pat Smith, Linda Chapman, Karen Shearer and her husband Brian, Wayne Male, Bill Male and his partner Jeremy Lilley, her sister-in-law Donna Male, along with many nieces and nephews. Donna is predeceased by her parents Theresa and William Male, her sister Marilyn Brazeau and her husband Albert, and her brothers Gary Male and Steven Male. Donna was a loving and selfless mother, nana and grams to all her children. While she will be terribly missed, the family takes solace that she is reunited with her beloved husband Joe. The family want to express their deepest appreciation to Dr MacSweeney and the fabulous nursing staff in Palliative Care for their companionate and doting care of our mother. Also, a special thank you to the PSW’s from Bayshore, specifically Chelsey, Jade, Melissa, Sam, and Tabitha, and mom’s special friend Sophie, all for their care and friendship to Donna and the family. We also want to thank her niece Tammy Luther for the loving care she gave to her aunt and the respite she provided to the family. Family and friends will be received at the McCormack Funeral Home, 254 George Street (at College Avenue) for visitation on Sunday May 4 from 1 – 2 pm. A Funeral Service will follow at 2 pm. Interment to take place at Assumption Cemetery in Mississauga on Monday May 5 at 1 pm.
