Mom was born on July 1, 1926 in Wuppertal, Germany. Her family was made up of five sisters and one brother.
In 1952 she emigrated to Canada along with Rolf to begin a new life and family. Mom became a Canadian citizen in 1958 which she deeply cherished.
Nana, as she was known by her family, was a very strong willed woman and lived her life on her terms and that’s what made her happy. Mom was always known for her style and grace as well as her “sweet tooth”.
Mom lived a long and fulfilled life. Mom (Nana) will be sadly missed by her loving family.
Mom was predeceased by Rolf in June of 2013.
Mom (Nana) is survived by her son Ron (Susan); daughter Sylvia (Jim); grandson Christopher; granddaughter Sarah; great-granddaughter Ruby; and great-grandsons Benjamin and Noah.
The family would like to extend special thanks to all the staff at Southwood Hospice for their care and compassion given to Mom.
At Mom’s request there will be no formal service.
