Donna Labarowski, resident of Grande Prairie, lost her battle with Parkinson Disease on Sunday, May 13, 2018, at Points West Living, at the age of 80 years.

Donna was born on February 3, 1938 in Cabri, SK. She was raised on the farm in Cabri and attended high school in Swift Current. She received her teaching certificate from the University of Saskatchewan. She taught for two years and then she married Walter in 1958.

They moved to Grande Prairie in 1981. She worked as a Librarian at Grande Prairie Regional College from 1984-1995 when she had to retire due to her Parkinson.
