She loved to read, swim, downhill ski, try her luck at the casino, make silly witty jokes, world travel and live life on her terms. She spoke English with a German accent and German with an American accent. Perhaps influenced by her vast foreign living experience in Hong Kong; Singapore; Madrid, Spain; São Paulo, Brazil; Geneva, Switzerland, the U.S. and of course Germany. She will be dearly missed and is survived by daughter, Victoria, half-sisters Helga Gröschler (Harry); Dr. Gertrud Dischinger-Höppler (Walter), half-brother Dr. Friedrich Dischinger (Barbara) and beloved nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her mother and husband.
