July 24th, 1935 - August 27th, 2021

Passed away peacefully at Groves Memorial Community Hospital.

Donna was predeceased by her loving husband of 58 years, Allen Edward Barlow.
Donna and Allen were long time residents of Mount Forest, where they cherished their time with their many friends. After the passing of Allen on August 30th, 2017, Donna moved to Heritage River Retirement Resident in Elora, where she was able to make new friends and stay in touch with old friends and family.

Donna was born in Fort William, Ontario, and moved with her parents, Clarence Everett Mower, Rose Margaret Mower (nee Ellett) and younger sister Joan (deceased) to New Toronto, Ontario, where she met Allen. Donna and Allen married on February 14th, 1959. Donna and Allen lived in Toronto, Brampton, Orillia, Sarnia, Vancouver, and Prince George, before finally retiring to Holstein Ontario and eventually moving to Mount Forest.

Some of Donna’s favourite memories were the times she spent at the cottage with family and friends.

Donna will be remembered for her joyful personality and her love of her furry grandchildren, Georgia, Moose and Dash.

Donna was a loving mother and will be greatly missed by Thomas Barlow and his wife Donna Lynn Barlow, Derrick Barlow and his wife Suzanne Barlow. Donna will also be cherished and remembered by her grandchildren, Kyle Barlow, Rebecca Barlow, Samantha Barlow and Kody Barlow. Donna will also be fondly remembered by Barbara Barlow, mother of Kyle and Rebecca.
The family would like to thank the staff at Heritage River for taking such good care of our mom and the staff at Groves Memorial Community Hospital, especially the nurses on the complex care unit who were so kind to mom during her final days.

A private graveside service will be held at Springcreek Cemetery in Mississauga on October 16th.
