It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our Mom, Ina Hoelscher (née Russell), on January 15, 2021, at the age of 95. Born December 22, 1925 in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Ina died peacefully at home in the presence of her beloved husband, Herman, of 71 years.
She leaves behind her children Ron (Carol), Linda (Gord), Terry (Cathy), Donna (Claudio) and Michael (Natasha). (Predeceased by her son Bryan)(Pauline).
She will be lovingly missed by her grandchildren, Sarah (Derek), Kristen, Kelly, Tanya (Nick), Lindsay (Dave), Michael, Jaimee (Matt), Jeffrey, Kira (Andreas), Maya. Her great grandchildren Byron, James, Henley, Blake, Joelle and River.
Ina was predeceased by her parents Joseph Russell and Florence Rodhouse and her sister Margaret. Also predeceased by her lifelong friends Penny and Fred McLeod.
Mom loved to travel and spent her winters in Arizona and summers at their cottage in Constance Bay. Mom was full of life from card playing, bingo, water exercises, reading, walking the dog, watching dancing with the stars and shopping til we dropped with her two daughters.
She loved unconditionally and touched the lives of many. Her family meant the world to her and she meant the world to us. She leaves a rich and lasting legacy…”Be good to each other.”
The family wishes to thank the CLSC and the excellent care given to her by the Comfort Keepers staff and Pamela, Merlin and Ava.
A celebration of life will be held for the immediate family only.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made in her name to The Teresa Dellar Palliative Care Residence.
