With heavy hearts and much sadness, we bring the news that on the evening of Wednesday November 22, 2023, Daun Yvette Cecilia McWatt (Nee Cheeks) passed away after a battle with cancer.
She was pre-deceased by her parents Randolph Sr. and Georgina, her mother-in-law Sheila and, her Father-in-Law Frankie, her brothers Micheal and Tony.
She leaves behind her husband Dave, children Gisele (Collin), Guy, Yvette, Jeanne, Margaux (Shantu), and Alain; along with grandchildren Calla, Audrey, Thea, Covell, Azaelia, Elijah, Max, Hyrum, Mieka, Jerrika, and Willow.
Daun lived her life with humour, curiosity and an infinite love for her family and friends. Her warmth, kindness, love, and selflessness will always be fondly remembered by those she held dear.
Daun did not want a funeral or mourning, so the family will hold a Celebration of Life at a date to be determined later. Daun will be cremated and her ashes will reside at home.
In memory of Daun, who loved to read and valued education, a donation can be made to your local Library in lieu of flowers.
May She Rest in Peace.
Gone too soon, always in my heart.
Thanks for a wonderful life together.
Until we meet again!

I will hold on to the beautiful memories of the time spent with my kid sister Daun/Pinkey growing up in Guyana and also the enjoyable time we spent residing in Canada. I am also very grateful to have spent last year’s Christmas with her and family.
My youngest sister Daun ( Pinkey), had a dynamic personality. She was fun loving, eager and confident. She had a very strong Will. Memories of her will remain in my heart. I recall when she took Dad’s car and drove her friends to the open air cinema, on the East Coast in Guyana, she was only 14 years old. I surround her with love.
My sister Daun(PInkey) had a dynamic and fun loving personality. She was eager and confident, had a strong will.
Memories of her will live on in my heart. from Dixie( Dolores)
I was shocked and deeply saddened to hear of Daun’s passing. My heart goes out to Dave, all your children, grandchildren, extended family and friends. I hold dear the many memories of Daun close to my heart of the great times we spent together with your family and all the laughs and fun we had… the many dinners, “Franglais” with your kids, Daun’s great cooking and the open love that Daun exuded and displayed to all…there is so much to reminisce about a life well lived with love, happiness and sharing that it will take time to digest how much we all have lost with Daun’s passing, however, I hope that you will feel comfort in the memories that live on in eternity…
With love
Rick
To Dave and family
Our heartfelt condolences on Daun’s passing.
Daun was my dearest, most cherished friend and Maua’s adopted aunt.
I will always treasure the memories of our time at Carleton University in Ottawa and our last visit together in Edmonton in September 2020.
I was truly blessed to have had Daun as a friend.
Rest in peace, Chinky.
Dave, condolences to you and your family. May you all join together and feel peace in Daun’s memory.
I’m so very sorry to hear of Daun’s passing.
Daun was a wonderful, beautiful person. A devoted super mom whose heart was bottomless, she had so much love for her family, friends and everyone she knew . Her beautiful, endless smile lit up any place she was. She will be very much missed. She will continue to live on in the hearts ❤️ and memories of all who knew her and whose lives she touched as only she could.
For me it will always be David and Daun.
Please pass on my condolences 💐 to your children and grandchildren. And again I am so sorry for your loss.
