Donald William Woodside Obituary

It is with deep sorrow that we announce the death of Donald William Woodside (Dundas, Ontario), who passed away on September 8, 2023, at the age of 82, leaving to mourn family and friends. You can send your sympathy in the guestbook provided and share it with the family.

He was loved and cherished by many people including : his wife Harriet Heitlinger; and his children, Sarah and Simon.

Our family was blessed with a grandson, Theo (2014), who, with his mother Sarah, moved in with us while she completed her PhD, and then again during Covid before moving to Boston.

In lieu of flowers, the family would prefer that you make a donation to the Canadian Friends Service Committee (https://quakerservice.ca).
