CALAIS – Donald N. Sellars, 75, passed away on the morning of June 5, 2008, at Calais Regional Hospital, after a brief, but courageous battle with cancer.

On Nov. 4, 1955, Donnie married Joyce Leavitt in St. Stephen, New Brunswick. Donnie worked for the city of Calais as a firefighter for a time, and then went to work for Dead River Oil Co., as a delivery driver.

Donnie was a guiding light to his family and a corner stone of love that will be greatly missed. It was his wish that no public viewing or services be conducted.
