On Tuesday, October 10th, 2017, our dear mother and Oma passed away peacefully at 96 years of age. She was a beautiful person, loving, gentle and kind. Predeceased by her husband Rudolf, she is survived by her three children Rolf (Diane), Anna (Nick) and Karin (Reg); five grandchildren Peter and Joanna and Stephanie, Tim and Gillian; six great grandchildren Colin, Maya and Kate, Elise and Theo and Freddy. As per her wishes, cremation has taken place and there will be no service. A special thank you to her best friend Herta who was always there for mom, her neighbour Stephanie whose regular visits brightened her days and past friends and neighbours for their caring and kindness. “To the world you were but one person; to one person, you were the world.” You were a wonderful inspiration to all of us and we will always love you Mom / Oma. “It’s a long way to Tipperary”.
