In loving memory of Daina Lougheed (nee Petrenas), 64 years, who died peacefully Saturday, August 9th, 2025 at Maison McCulloch Hospice, Sudbury. Predeceased by her father, Jonas Petrenas in 2001, and her mother, Stefanie Petrenas in 2022. Dear sister of Ruth Stortini (husband Tim) and Janina Petrenas. Cherished aunt of Zachery Stortini (wife Desiree), Jonathan Petrenas and Samantha Stortini. Great aunt to Wesley and Franky.
Born and raised in Sudbury, Daina found great joy in creating stained glass art, was an avid equestrian and also had a love for sailing. Daina worked dutifully at the hospital for over 40 years. She was loved and respected amongst her friends at work and at the Sudbury Yacht Club. She will be sadly missed but never forgotten.
The family expresses their appreciation to the medical team at both Health Sciences North and the Maison McCulloch Hospice for their care and compassion. In lieu of flowers, donations to Maison McCulloch Hospice would be appreciated.
There will be no public visitation or service. A private family service will be held.
I worked with Daina for many years and I always admired her work ethics and commitment to the medical laboratory profession. She was privet but genuine and kind, always willing to help and think of others’ feelings. My deepest condolences to the grieving family. Rest in Peace Dear Daina.

I was so sorry to hear of the loss of Daina. She and Ruth were my best ever Tankard holding customers and friends at Eddies! She was lovely, needless to say, but also possessed a glow from within and a gentle vulnerable quality. But quite determined! Please hold on tight to each other during this really tough time. Hugs Ruth, Kelly7
