Dona's obituary
“Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.”
Dona Marie Helwig (nee CORNELL) has been reunited with her many loved ones, including her late husband, Frank Helwig (deceased June 19, 2021) and her beloved Gracy May. Dona was the proud mother of Tammy (Chris) and Charles (Lynda) Leffler. She also had the privilege of being stepmother to Becky (Craig) Donaldson and Jason (Colleen) Helwig. Dona will be greatly missed by her many grandchildren. She cherished her daughter Tammy for blessing her with Brian (Kayla) and Caprice (Dillon) McClung. She radiated with such joy when it came to her great-grandson Landin Butler. Dona will be eternally grateful to her son Charles for gifting her with Olivia (Thomas) Laczko and Lucas (Ali) Leffler. She will be deeply missed by her granddog, Jasper. Dona was predeceased by her siblings Ina Scott, Shirley-Ann Darling and Allen Cornell. Dona embraced family and will have an everlasting bond with many nieces and nephews. The deep relationship she shared with sisters Valentine (Gregory) Robinson and Barbara Cornell, will remain for an eternity.
