Donna Fleming Obituary

With great sadness we are announcing the passing of Donna. She is survived by spouse Ken, parents Don and Pat Zanelli, brother Ray, son Brent (Debra), granddaughter May, daughter Nikki, and grandson Lowen.
Born and raised in Victoria BC. She was a smart woman with many talents and hobbies. From the beautiful clothes she could sew or the sweaters she would knit. Her creativity in her crafts, scrap books and designing her dream family home on Shawnigan Lake. She passed on her amazing cooking skills to her children.
She started her working career at Reg Midgley motors which gave her the foundation and direction for a career in bookkeeping. Forever wanting to learn more she advanced these skills with Edgar and Miner Flooring, Thrifty Foods, Peppers Foods as each job brought new knowledge. But her desire to learn and try new things lead her to going back to school at Camosun College in 1997 for Legal Secretarial Specialty Certificate. This new knowledge then took her career to the federal government. She spent the next 15 years at CFB Esquimalt as a compensation officer helping employees navigate the complexity of federal government pay. The time came to retire as phoenix pay was being introduced.
Her love for her family & friends was unconditional and always in abundance.
She is greatly missed.
There will be no funeral service.
Memorials or donations may be made to Victoria Hospice in recognition of the amazing care they provided Donna in her final weeks.

We were fortunate that there were so many aunts and uncles who loved having family celebrations for birthdays, Xmas, weddings, grandchildren being born, and more activities, so as cousins we got together frequently. Didn't matter what age you were, there were cousins to roar around with. As mature adults, the female cousins met occasionally at a restaurant to chat and sip tea/coffee. Because our uncles seemed to have varied careers and pastimes, we had the opportunity to get wise advice from someone who had intimate knowledge of such. We were lucky to have such a predominance of recreational water activities which were passed down to and enjoyed by all the cousins. Donna will always be remembered.
