Irma Mary Eckert

Irma is lovingly remembered and sadly missed by her sons, Jim (Chris), Tony (Linda), and Rob (Kim), her daughter-in-law, Jan, her grandchildren, Steven (Chrissy), Shannon (Adrian), Dan (Brenda), Peter (Ashley), Robyn (Tara), Michael, and Joshua, and her great grandchildren, Liam (Kaia), Hayden, Bailey (Keegan), Jack, Sydney, Elizabeth, Benjamin, and Basil. She is also survived by nephews and nieces in Austria and Germany. Irma was predeceased by her husband, Jakob of 71 years, and her son, William.

Irma immigrated to Canada from Austria in 1954 with Jakob and their two eldest sons, Jim and Tony. She worked as a homemaker and a mother and showed her love to her family and friends through her cooking and baking. Favourite family dinners often included schnitzel and apple strudel or her version of Sachertorte. Irma enjoyed and valued time spent with family and friends. She liked dancing, playing cards and gardening. Irma also enjoyed travelling and her favourite destinations were Hawaii and Austria. She was a loving and caring wife, mother, oma, and great oma and will be greatly missed.

The family thanks the staff of the Lifestyle Options Terra Losa for their compassionate care during Irma’s last year.
