PROUT - Donna Prout of Yorkton passed away on June 23, 2018 at Lakeside Manor Care Home in Saltcoats. Donna Maureen Prout, daughter to John and Olga Devine, was born on April 30, 1939 in Moose Jaw Saskatchewan. After graduating from SION Academy, Donna went on to attend the Grey Nuns Collegiate in Regina where she received her certification as a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN). She began her nursing career at the Moose Jaw clinic, of which she had very fond memories. In 1965, while working in Moose Jaw, Donna met Allan Prout. In 1966 they were married then resided in Yorkton where they were blessed with two daughters. Donna liked to keep busy. She loved gardening, camping, reading, cheering on the Saskatchewan Roughriders, and spending time with her friends. But what she loved most was being a nurse and caring for others. Donna had a strong passion for spending time with family and friends. In 1976, Donna became a Life Member of Beta Sigma Phi, of which she was very proud. Donna's strong faith was evident in all areas of her life. It guided her to become a member of the Catholic Women's League (CWL) at St. Gerard's Church in 1980. Donna spent her retirement years volunteering, enjoying coffee groups with friends, and caring for her grandchildren who were her pride and joy. She spent the latter month of her life enjoying the company of residents and staff at Jowsey House. It was here that many of us were once again able to see that twinkle in her eye. She settled in nicely, her sense of humor returned, and she was very happy there. For that we are so very grateful. Donna was predeceased by an older brother, John Gilbert Jr., her father John in 1975, and her mother Olga in 2003. Donna leaves to celebrate many cherished memories, her brother Donald, daughters Kristine (Brian) and Pam.
