Holland Sentinel Obituaries: Remembering Donna Van Munster (1945-2019)

On September 18, 2019, Holland lost a beloved member of its community with the passing of Donna (Walters) Van Munster at the age of 74. Born to Ben and Johanna (Witteveen) Walters on February 7, 1945, Donna lived a life filled with love, kindness, and dedication.

In recent news, Health Minister Mark Holland spoke out about a report that revealed lax adherence to security protocols in a Canadian laboratory. The documents showed that an individual, identified as Qiu, had direct contact with entities linked to a foreign state, raising concerns about their loyalty. Additionally, Cheng was found to have allowed restricted visitors to work unescorted and failed to prevent the unauthorized removal of laboratory materials on at least two occasions.

The report also highlighted inadequate understanding of the threat of foreign interference and lack of rigor in adhering to security protocols. Health Minister Mark Holland emphasized that no national secrets or information threatening Canada's security left the lab.

As we remember Donna Van Munster, we are reminded of the importance of diligence and accountability. It is crucial for individuals entrusted with sensitive information to be truthful and forthcoming when questioned about their activities.

In conclusion, Donna's passing leaves a void in our community, but her memory will live on through the love and kindness she shared with others. Our thoughts are with her family and friends during this difficult time.

Rest in peace, Donna.
