She was actively involved in the ladies auxiliary at the Winnipeg Humane Society. She looked after many dogs, while their owners went on vacation. Many of them returned year after year. Animals loved her as much as she loved them. Hannelore and Gerhart also loved to travel, especially to Hawaii. She enjoyed attending the symphony for many years. She loved meeting new people and in turn, they enjoyed getting to know her. The family would like to thank the staff at Donwood Manor for their kindness, care and support, especially during the last few days.
