Donna Kurz (Handy) Obituary
She will be forever missed by her husband Michael Kurz and her sons; Sean, Raymond (Brooke) and Bradley. Her daughters; Samantha (Anton), Victoria (Brendan), Christina (Mahdi), cherished grandmother to Brayden and Arian and soon to be Lily.

Donna and I met in highschool and went to NAIT together. We sang, laughed, supported, dances, shared and loved eachother greatly. She was a great friend, kind, caring, supportive and had an excellent sense of humor. She was indeed a fighter, unbelievably so. Much love to her and her family. Xox

I met Donna swimming in the Aquafit classes at Sutton Pool, and got to know her a little better through coffee afterwards at Tim Hortons. Despite facing remarkable adversity with her cancer diagnosis and treatment, she always maintained a positive and cheery attitude and a great ability to experience joy. She will be missed.

My aunt Donna, she was a force! She was always there when you needed her, always ready to try something new, adventurer for sure. She was quick and witty. Her strength was massive. My aunt Donna was a vibe! She set the tone of a room, she was the person that told you what you needed to hear even if you didn´t like it. She was a huge role model to so many. Her compassion and empathy made her a great co worker in her nursing carrier. Her spirit made her who she is. I am so grateful for the time we had with her. Gone way to soon. So very missed... a big void is placed in all of us for sure. She is the main reason I am who I am today! She loved me when I didn´t know how to love myself! Yup SOLID my aunt but you already know that!
Here is a poem I wrote her....
I´m Sorry.
I´m sorry this is happening, it´s not fair!
Your mom, sister, wife, aunt or friend. The emotions are real, hard and strong! I´m sorry.
She is my aunt as many would say that´s special... but to me she is so much more.
She is my friend. She is my mom when I need one and my sister when I am unsure of myself.
She has been my constant when I didn´t know I needed one. Losing my Grandma was hard she was my person.
But my aunt is so much more. Ang
God I miss this women. Always there! To my cousins, aunt and uncles and im so sorry...to anyone that was blessed to know her. I´m so sorry.
Gone but never forgotten.... Till we meet again. And Panzaratti will always be something I have delivered
