GERDA FAHR
(nee OTTO)
She was predeceased by her husband Julius; son Thomas and grandson Johnathan. She is survived by her son Wolfgang (Patricia); grandson James and great-granddaughter Ava.
Gerda was born in Waren Muritz, Germany. She married Julius April 22, 1949. They immigrated to Winnipeg in 1951 and were welcomed by the Westphal family. In 1954 Gerda and her husband started a grain and poultry farm, which became a family business.
She was an excellent cook and family still marvels at the fabulous tortes she made. In her later years, she found mall walking, where she found wonderful new friends. She also managed a number of trips, even a river boat cruise in her 80s. But her true passion was bridge and crib, which she excelled at until ill health prevented her from participating in.
The family wishes to thank Middlechurch Home for her care.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Abundant Life Lutheran Church "piano fund" or a charity of one's choice.
A private family service and interment has been held.
