Donna Rae Jonah

Peacefully and surrounded by her husband and children, Donna Rae Jonah passed away at her home in Hillsborough on November 10th, 2023, at the age of 66.

 

Born in Moncton on May 27th, 1957, she was the daughter of the late Ray and Gladys (Butler) Lutes. She is survived by her husband of over 20 years, Denis Simpson, her children; Allison (Carole) & Elizabeth (Noel), Melissa (Shane) & Jeremy (Sarah), her mother in law, Lorna, her brother Greg (Sue), and her grandchildren; Jonah, Will, & Nora, as well as many extended family friends.

 

Our mum was a loving member of the Hillsborough community, a place where she settled and raised her family. She was a nurturer by nature and would show love and compassion to anyone in need. She was at her best when she was able to give her love and care away. Passionate about the welfare of animals, Mum rescued and cared for many cats who called her property home. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Donna’s name to Carma - Cat Rescue Maritimes Moncton Chapter.

 

The family extends its love and gratitude to the nurses from the extra-mural program, who helped support our mum and provided her comfort and the ability to stay at home, as well as the nurses, technicians, and doctors for their support in the last months.

 

In keeping with her wishes, there will be no visitation or service.

 

Arrangements are in the care of the Albert County Funeral Home, 4130 Route 114, Hopewell Cape, NB, E4H-3K2 506 734-2780
