Donna Grace MacLeod

The passing of Donna Grace MacLeod (MacDonald) of Morell occurred unexpectedly, at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Charlottetown on March 25, 2026.

The youngest child of twelve, Donna “Red Hughie” was born in Souris on May 26, 1960, to the late Hugh Boniface and Mary Jane MacDonald.

Donna spent her childhood at “the lighthouse,” where she roamed the harbour and the capes of Naufrage looking for adventure. In her latest years, she roamed the roads instead, hoping to catch sight of birds and wildlife with her best friend and partner, Peter MacIntyre. Many a late-night game of cards was enjoyed with sisters, plenty of visits with friends and family, lots of tears and laughter and ups and downs. Through it all, Donna was happiest when she was with the ones she loved, humans and animals alike.

She was one of those people who would give her last dollar or the shirt off her back. A heart of gold while maintaining a stoic exterior that often shed silent tears for someone in a tough situation. Donna is survived by her daughter Sara MacLeod (Chris Dunn) and granddaughters Carmen and Sydney MacVane as well as siblings: Mary Flynn, Wayne MacDonald, Pauline Carter, Barbara O’Hanley, Phyllis MacDonald and Eileen (Glen) Cameron and sister-in-law Jennie (Bernie) MacDonald. Predeceased by siblings and in-laws; Donnie, John and Peggy MacDonald, Dorothy and John O’Hanley, Bernie, and Gladys and George Mel MacPhee, John Flynn, and Henry Carter. Also predeceased by husband Francis MacLeod and nephew Tony Carter.

Donna will undoubtedly be reunited with her most special four-legged friends who she loved and cared for greatly: Woody, Tabby, Gregor, and Guinness.
