Notice biographique
Donna Bain was born in Hythe, AB. Her parents, Mr. & Mrs. Dan Bain, came from Biggar, Saskatchewan in 1929, the year Hythe was incorporated as a Village and the year the Northern Alberta Railway arrived in Hythe. Donna attended the Happy Valley School in Hythe, and in 1950 married Eldon Shail, a grain buyer for the Alberta Pacific Grain Co. They raised two children, Randy and Terri, in the Village of Hythe. Except for 10 months in 1971, when Federal Grain moved Eldon to Fort St. John for a short time, Donna spent her entire life in the Village of Hythe. She volunteered with the United Church as a Sunday School teacher and as a leader in CGIT; was active in the United Church Women, and in the Royal Purple for 28 years; and helped the Hythe Golden Age Club take care of the small Hythe museum and tourist booth. Because of her personal interest in Hythe, Donna collected and compiled scrapbooks about the Village's history which were on display at the Hythe Museum for many years.
