KNECHT, Donna Lois (nee Weber) 1945 - 2007 Donna Lois Knecht passed away at the Foothills Hospital on September 18, 2007 after a short but courageous bout with cancer. Donna was born on March 27, 1945 in Weyburn, SK, where she grew up with her sister Sherin and her two brothers Len and Terry. In 1967, she moved to Calgary to begin her adult life. She was soon married and managing a home filled with love and children. Donna's family was paramount to her. She also worked at several jobs over the last twenty-five years. She drove a school bus for Cardinal Coach Lines, was an administrative manager for ELP, and most recently drove a transport vehicle for Airport Shuttle Express and Veco. Donna was best known for her quick smile, her constant friendship and her overwhelming kindness. Donna is survived by her mother Dorothy Jacobs; sister Sherin Meadows (Don); brother Terry Webber (Cynthia); her children David Knecht, Cindy Knecht, Dianne Paul (Brad) and Michael Knecht (Tracy); her grandchildren Brennan and Avery Knecht and Jacob Paul; sister-in-law Lois Webber; as well as numerous nieces and nephews. Donna's children would like to thank the wonderful staff of Units 61, 62 and especially Unit 46 at the Foothills Hospital for taking such good care of her. They would also like to thank their father Art Knecht (Gail) for all the support and guidance. A Celebration of Donna's Life will be held at CALGARY CREMATORIUM CHAPEL, 3219 - 4 Street N.W.
