WESTERGAARD - Donna Maureen (Nee: Wood) of Swift Current. It is with deepest sadness yet great joy to announce that Mom has gone to be with her Lord at the age 73 on September 16, 2011. Donna is survived by her loving family: son Doug Westergaard of Swift Current, daughter Sonja (Harvey) Giesbrecht, grandchildren Sorena (Kole) Oberkirsch and Easton Giesbrecht all of Regina, brother Ray (Janet) Wood of Broadview, SK, niece Susan (Jerome) Loewen and their children Lanna and Luke of Regina, SK, nephew David Wood of Regina, sister-in-law Mary Westergaard of Maarslet, Denmark and Zoey "Little Man", Mom's cat that she so dearly loved. Donna was predeceased by her loving husband Niels of 44 years, her father and mother Ernie and Melva Wood of Whitewood, SK and her father and mother-in-law Soren and Sorine Westergaard of Maarslet, Denmark. Donna was born in Whitewood, SK on June 14, 1938 and graduated from Whitewood High School. In high school, Donna was nominated and selected as a candidate for Miss Saskatchewan Roughrider. During her youth, Donna loved to figure skate and spent her summers at Round Lake with her family and friends. A lot of her youthful activities and events included her brother Ray. Mom and Dad met when he was a business student from Denmark doing his internship at the Whitewood Co-op. The couple were married in 1958. After moving to Swift Current, Donna pursued her great interest in the natural health industry and became manager of Sangster Health Foods, until her retirement. Donna loved to read and continued studying in the health industry. Donna had a great passion for animals and caring for the lost little souls that showed up on her doorstep. The family would especially like to thank her very dear friend, Maureen Sigmeth, for her caring, friendship and support during Mom's illness. Special thanks to Dr Ibrahim and all the nursing staff who cared for Mom. A family celebration of Donna's life will be held at a later date. The family request that, in lieu of flowers and gifts, donations be made to the Swift Current S.P.C.A. to honour her memory and great love of animals. Warren's Funeral Home was in care of arrangements.
