META J. REINHOLDT It is with great sadness that the family of Meta Reinholdt announces her passing on May 29, 2006 at the Poseidon Care Centre in Winnipeg.

She was predeceased by her husband, Willi; her brothers, Albert, Johnny, and Bruno Wurr; sisters, Hedwig Petersen and Erna Hansen. Meta was born in Hamburg, Germany on May 17, 1913. In 1935 she married Wilhelm Reinholdt. In 1936 they had their only child, a son Ewald. She immigrated with her husband and son to Canada in 1954 and resided in Winnipeg. Meta and her husband Willi had a passion for acrobatics as a sport and performed on many occasions throughout Germany. She kept herself in good physical condition until the last moments of her long life. She took pride in her household and looked upon cleaning as a healthy exercise. She remained clear minded and had a will to live until the end. She enjoyed the outdoors and traveling. At the age of 89 she still traveled on her own to visit her family members in Germany. Meta was always thankful for the many health care providers at the Poseidon Care Centre who treated her with much dignity and kindness.
