Donna-Marie Akers-Sjodin (Tourand)

1966 – 2017

Donna passed away peacefully surrounded by her loving family, after a year-long battle with cancer, on June 1, 2017 at the age of 50 in Clearwater, BC. She was born in Kamloops, BC on December 5, 1966 and grew up in Blue River, BC.

Donna was loved and admired by so many and will always be remembered for her beautiful smile and kind, giving nature. She was an active volunteer in the community, acting as treasurer for Scouts, Minor Hockey and PAC for many years.

Donna loved traveling and spending time with her family. We are so grateful to have been able to share one last family trip to Mexico with Donna this past February. She is survived by her husband, Dean Sjodin; children Jesse, Jordan and Jo Akers; step children Bryson, Baylie and Kaycie Sjodin; parents Fred and Shauna Tourand; sisters Bonnie (Jeff) Ruttan and their children Beau and Bayley, Kari (Joseph) Daoust, Rhauna (Ryan) Mackenzie and their children Ashton and Ronnie; brother Reuben Tourand; and many aunts, uncles and cousins.

All are welcome to join the family in a Celebration of Life for Donna on June 16, 2017 at 4:00 pm at the home of Linda Moss in Birch Island (1572 McCracken Rd)
