DAWNA GRACE MARTIN

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the sudden passing of Dawna Grace Martin on Sunday February 4, 2024 at the age of 74 in Selkirk Manitoba. 

Dawna was one-of-a-kind, a lover of animals, a little eccentric, always made an impression with her infectious laugh and you could easily pick her out of the crowd.

Dawna’s love of animals found her later retired in St Andrews, where she began her “funny farm”.  She raised a variety of animals along with later pursuing the alpaca business.  Dawna volunteered with Manitoba Wildlife where she provided care and rehabilitation for many orphaned animals and helped integrate them back into the wild.  She was always known for taking in any stray that crossed her path.  Later, she settled in Clandeboye with her late husband, Robert John Martin, where she enjoyed spending time in her yard fussing over the flowers, taking the grandkids camping, and hosting many family dinners.  

Dawna enjoyed volunteering with Cancer Care Manitoba, becoming a support for many.  She enjoyed spending quality time over a glass of wine with friends, cherished her lunch dates with the girls, and going thrifting in search of a good deal.  She left an impression with everyone she met and truly was loved and will be dearly missed.   

Dawna was predeceased by her husband and Parents.  She is survived by her brother, two daughters, and her two grandsons.  In keeping with Dawna’s wishes, there will be no funeral service and in lieu of flowers donations can be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation. 

Dawna’s family kindly requests that all of her friends and relatives take a few minutes to honour her memory by sharing photos, memories, and stories, using the comment section on this page.
