Donna A. Endicott We sadly lost of one of our most active and in昀氀uential supporters on August 7, 2023 with the unexpected passing of Donna Endicott. Donna, who served as HSHPE’s board chair from 2016 to early 2023, was a driving force in e昀昀orts to rebrand the organization and build a new shelter. A nurse by training, Donna moved back to the region after retiring as regional director for the Canadian Red Cross (Toronto Region) in 2000. As a Canadian Red Cross delegate, she was deployed for earthquake relief in Armenia (1988), Relief Administration in South Sudan (1989) and the American Red Cross during Hurricane Andrew’s devastation in 1992. She had previously served as executive director for Juvenile Diabetes Foundation (Toronto) and associate executive director for the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Ontario. Donna had also served on the board of the Community Development Council (CDC), Three Oaks Foundation, and Friends of the Trail Inc. She is survived by her husband Rensford (Butch) Nobes, son David and his wife Laura and granddaughter Rachel. On October 4, 2023, as part of our celebration of World Animal Day and the 昀椀rst anniversary of the o昀케cial opening our our new shelter, we gathered with Donna’s friends and family to celebrate the dedication of our community room, now known as the Donna A.
