She would have liked to make special mention of her two dear friends Sally & Margaret from Merritt as well as 4 nieces who were with her in her final days: Jenelle McMillan, Jessie McMillan, Dawn Gronberg & Leeann Smith.

Donna McMillan was born September 11th, 1940 in Kamloops and attended St. Ann’s Academy. She married and raised her children in Toronto before moving to Canim Lake BC in the late 1980’s with her youngest son Rob Aeichele. Donna later rekindled her romance with childhood sweetheart Fred Paquette. They were married in 1998 and resided in Merritt until she passed in 2017. We will miss Donna but she is finally at peace and we will remember her always. There will be no service at Donna’s request.
