It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Jane (Crosby) Donaldson on October 27, 2020 at the age of 55 years old. Beloved wife and best friend to Derek Donaldson. They shared 24 years of marriage. Devoted and loving mother to Emily and Cameron Donaldson.

Dear sister of Douglas Crosby, Susan Kemp (late Gord), Jill MacDonald (Blaine), Lea Rand (Jim), Chris Crosby (Debbie), Ken Crosby (Carolyn), and sister in law to Jennifer Tierney (John). She is also survived by many nieces, nephews, extended family and close friends.

Jane will be remembered for her devotion to family, her positive energy, gregarious personality, and her ability to love unconditionally. Jane's positive and contagious energy was infectious and shared with all whom she came in contact with.
