Donna
Myrna Yerxa
Donna was an incredible and determined woman
who was born in Saskatoon and grew up in Alberta. She studied
design in New York and received a Bachelor of Science in Textiles
from the University of Alberta and after graduating traveled
across the country to live in Toronto. She worked as a Commercial
Interior Designer at the prestigious Art Shoppe in Toronto
and Grand and Toy before starting her own business in Vancouver
which was at Granville and Robson.
Her first daughter Holly was born in Vancouver and in wanting
to be closer to nature the family ventured in to the interior
to live in the Vernon area. Her second daughter Flora was
born and both daughters thrived in the interior environment.
She wanted to encourage a love of travel in her daughters.
Donna was creative in many ways - she did drawing about all
she loved around her - gardens, flowers, birds, rhythmic gymnastics
and interior design. In her struggle with Cancer she called
on her Willpower and Creativity to survive. She helped in
creating, with her twin sister, a book on self healing with
eight angels. It is to be published in July 2007. She took
the drawings and animated the angels so that they danced.
Donna is now dancing with the angels in heaven and in charge
of helping those that come and want to be creative. Thank
you Donna to all the you have given us. We love you!
