Adeline (Addy) Joan Donnelly
February 22, 1931 - February 21, 2025
Tribute
In a quiet & peaceful way, on February 21, 2025, Addy smiled and gently took her last breath while surrounded by her children Janet, Paul & Lisa. She was at peace, knowing she was not alone and had loving arms waiting to receive her.
She is survived by her children Carole (Mark) Savard, Janet (Dave) Renaud, Paul (Judy) Renaud, Lisa (Mike) Renaud & Rob Donnelly, Joanne (Neil) Pinder. Grandchildren Kaare, Ericka, Aaron, Katherine, Anthony, Anne, Kelli, Benjamin & numerous great grandchildren. Addy was previously deceased by her husband Bob (Robert) Donnelly.
Addy & Bob met & were married in Calgary, then moved to Osoyoos in 1974, buying an orchard and embarking on a new life. They enjoyed fruit farming, gardening and many outdoor activities. A favorite daily activity was heading to the beach late afternoon, for a sit in the sun by the lake. Many animals were always part of their lives, living the good life with them.
Addy was a member of the CWL & the ladies Auxiliary of the Elks. She enjoyed many years of volunteering, alongside Bob. They were regularly working the Elks Bingo, with Addy in the concession; Bob the soundman. Addy enjoyed many years of playing cards, at both the Elks Hall & Seniors Center. Addy & Bob were also involved with the Curling Club & Bonspiels & were seen at many a dance, kicking up their heels. They enjoyed many years of travel in their motorhome, both locally & Arizona way.
Celebrations of life will be held in Osoyoos, during the summer of 2025. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to charity of your choice.

Addy and Bob were good friends with my parents for many years. After my Dad passed they were a valued support for my mother , Emmy. Addy and Mom loved their shopping trips to Penticton and their regular afternoon coffee dates at Smitty’s. They were “kindred spirits “ sharing many interests. Addy was a kind lady, very giving of her time…she was supportive after my recent losses. A beautiful lady on the inside and out. My condolences to Addy’s family.

Sincere condolences on the passing of your mother and grandmother. Addy was a wonderful woman. I first met her when she and Bob purchased my wife’s parents’ orchard. I hope you are comforted when you learn how highly she was regarded. She will be missed.
