DONNA GUNN

It is with broken hearts that we announce the passing of Donna Gunn on October 19, 2026 at St. Boniface Hospital in Winnipeg, with family by her side.

Donna was born on September 16, 1950 in Winnipeg, Manitoba to Meryl and Norman Froom. She was a beloved Mother, Grandmother, Sister, Cousin, and friend. Growing up, Donna lived in the West End where she attended Daniel McIntire High School. She participated in baton twirling and Girl Guides. She enjoyed 60’s music, especially the Beatles, and volunteered in the Candy Striper program at Grace General Hospital.

In recent years, Donna loved shopping and playing games online, baking for her family and neighbors and spoiling her and her family’s pets. She was also known for her sweet tooth, she loved cake, candy and especially chocolate. In the last few years, Donna discovered her love for tattoos and was always thinking of what she was going to get next.

Donna was a caring, loving and selfless person who devoted her life to family, friends and neighbors. Donna cherished the time she spent celebrating birthdays and seasonal events, and her many holidays at Trout Lake, where she made lasting memories.

Donna was predeceased by her husband Barry Gunn and her parents Meryl and Norm Froom. She leaves behind her son Kirk Gunn (Tamara) and their children Katie and Tyler, her son Steven Gunn (Sarah) and their daughter Bailey, brother Glen Froom (Laurie) and their daughters Cara and Caleigh, and brother David Froom. She was also very close to her cousin Wendy and her family.

Donna is deeply missed. Her memory will live on through her family, whose lives have been enriched by her unwavering love and support. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Canadian Diabetes Association or to the Humane Society.
