DONALDSON, Dagmar Louisa March 1, 1924 February 12, 2008 Dagmar Louisa
Donaldson passed away on February 12th, 2008 after a heroic struggle with
cancer. She is survived by her sons David and Richard, daughter-in-laws
Sharon and Bobbie, grandson Brett, his wife Lacey and great grandchildren
Kobe and Chase. She was born Dagmar Louisa Olson in New Denver, BC. It was
in Trail, BC, while pursuing a business career, that she met Arthur
Donaldson on the golf course. They married on September 3rd, 1947 and raised
two boys, primarily in Victoria and Vancouver. During these years, while
busy nurturing her family, she enjoyed curling, volunteering and became an
avid duplicate bridge player. In 1981, Dagmar and Art moved to Vancouver
Island where she became involved in Apartment and Condominium Management in
the Chemanius and Nanaimo areas. In 1993 they moved to Nanoose Bay to live
out the rest of their Golden Years together. Dagmar was an avid reader and
loved enthusiastic discussions about political and world events. Her
spirited nature inspired her viewpoint on life, and she often spoke her mind

English Warrior Queen circa AD 60. She was preceded in death by her husband
of fifty nine years, who passed away on June 1st 2006. There will be no

Norma Brown, the pretty young French teacher. Over the ensuing years our
family accompanied Dad to Princeton, Penticton, Bralorne, and Golden finally
arriving in North Vancouver. Dad enjoyed his last teaching years with
students and colleagues at Carson Graham. Dad and Mother then retired to
their beloved Boundary Bay and some of our fondest memories are of the 2 of
them sitting on the porch enjoying the view of the bay and Mt. Baker. Dad's
wicked wit, unfailing sense of humour and generosity of spirit won him
friends wherever he went. He was truly a `gentle man'. We are grateful to
the staff and tenants of Cedar Garden for making Dad feel so comfortable and
cared for these past 18 months. Thanks also to North Shore Palliative Care
for the support which enabled Dad to spend his final days at home, in Cedar

on December 22, 2007. She has gone to join Bruce, her parents and her
beloved pets. Rose-Marie is survived and sadly missed by her brother Ed,
sister-in-law Thelma, Auntie Frieda Driessen, Linda, Eric and Sarianna
Borgfjord, the Bendickson family, her relatives in Holland and Australia,
and many, many friends. Also greatly missed by Sam, Britta and Juniper.
Rose-Marie was intelligent, humorous, very talented and above all a
thoughtful, generous, caring person who touched many lives. She was born in
Roermond, Netherlands and came to Canada at the age of five with her family.
They lived in several places in BC and Alberta before locating permanently
at Sayward in 1965. After obtaining her B.A. and teacher's certificate at
UVic Rose-Marie did post-graduate studies in Amsterdam and at UBC which led
to her obtaining a Masters degree in Medieval Literature. She had successful
careers in both Victoria and Vancouver (UVic and CBC) before choosing to
live and work in Sayward. She taught French at Sayward School and then
worked for MacMillan Bloedel. After surviving breast cancer Rose-Marie
started her own plant business, Salmon River Gardens, and wrote many
gardening articles. Together, Rose-Marie and Bruce built a happy and
fulfilling life which was tragically cut too short. Rose-Marie's family
appreciate so much the outpouring of love and concern for her after the
accident. We know the thoughts and prayers of many have constantly been with
her. Our heartfelt thanks to all of you. Please understand we are respecting
RoseMarie's expressed wishes by holding no service or public gathering of
remembrance. As she would want, please honour her memory in your own way,
and especially, find joy in the beauty of the world as she did. Those who
wish, please donate to a charity of choice. Suggestions, if desired, are the

That God was going to call your name, In life we loved you dearly; In death
we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you; You did not go alone, For
part of us went with you, The day God called you home. You left us peaceful
memories; Your love is still our guide, And though we cannot see you, You
are always at our side. Our family chain is broken, And nothing seems the
same, But as God calls us one by one, The chain will link again. 447703
