KORPINISKI

September 7, 2007

KORPINISKI (Undershute) 1964 - 2007 Donna passed away peacefully at home on September 2, 2007 surrounded by her loving family. Donna was born on November 8, 1964 in Swift Current, Saskatchewn and moved to Red Deer with her family in 1965. She completed her education in Red Deer and graduated from LTCHS before going on to her chosen profession as a Sign Language Interpreter for the deaf. Donna graduated from the Interpreter Training Program at Grant MacEwen College and later taught classes for the same program. She received her BA in Linguistics from the U of A, and was working towards her Masters when she became ill. Donna was a wonderful mother, daughter, sister, aunt, cousin and friend. She had a positive attitude and a special talent that made her look for the good in everyone. She was kind, fun loving and adventurous and her job led her to many exciting places and people. She leaves a void in all our lives and we miss her very much. She will be dearly remembered by the two most important people in her life, her sons Robert and Janzen Korpiniski, her mother Darlene Undershute, one brother Daryl Undershute, two sisters Debbie (Darcey) McKay, and Denise Bos as well as two nephews Aaron and Adam Bos and three nieces Stacey (David) McWilliam, Jayme (Andreas) Campbell McKay, and Haley McKay and one very special great niece Katie Campbell McKay all of Red Deer. Donna is also survived by her Grandma Elma Huva of Kelowna B.C. and her children's Grandma Vicky Korpiniski of Red Deer and Kelly, plus many special aunts, uncles, cousins and a large number of wonderful friends, colleagues and former students. Donna was predeceased by her father Dale Undershute, her uncle Bob Undershute, her grandparents Cliff and Lois Undershute and her Grandpa Alex Huva, and her children's Grandpa Paul Korpiniski. A celebration of life will be held in Red Deer at the Royal Canadian Legion at 2810 Bremner Ave. on September 10, at 1:00 pm. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Cross Cancer Institute.
