In memory of
Dona Marie Mahony
August 20, 1929 -
January 5, 2024
Dona died peacefully with family by her side on January 5, 2024, at the age of 94.
Dona was born on Aug 20, 1929, to her parents Harvey and Pearl Hillman in Tilbury, Ontario. She moved to Chatham, Ontario to complete Business College to learn skills that gained her employment in London. It was where she met her future husband Ralph Benson Mahony.
The two built their family in the new community of Don Mills in 1953 and remained there until their late 80’s. As a homemaker Dona volunteered for the Donway United Church as a Sunday school teacher and in her daughter's Brownie pack and Girl Guide company.
Dona built a career working for Burke Marketing Research as the Office Manager where she made many lifelong friends. After retiring, she enjoyed traveling with Ralph and many friends and family, golfing and playing bridge and of course, creating many memories with her grandchildren.
She is now reunited in Heaven with her loving husband, Ralph, and with her late sister Wilda (Harold) as well as her brothers-in-law Late Eric (Audrey) and Late Graeme (Late Denise).
Cherished by her dear children Susan (Late Don), John (MaryAnne), Bruce (Lisa). Proud Grandmother to Lindsay (Mark), Laura (Josh), Sarah (Jeff), Ben (Ashley), Elyse (John), Connor (Christian) and Great Grandmother (GG) to Charlotte, James, Jake, Hudson, Austin, William, Maddison and Luke and many nieces and nephews.
She will be held dear in the hearts of her family, relatives, and many friends. Special thank you to Sunnybrook Health Sciences Hospital and Toronto Grace Hospital for their caring support.
