Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryKATHERINE EDIGER It is with deep sorrow the family announces the passing of Katherine Ediger, aged 93, on Tuesday, November 20, 2012. Katherine was born on January 26, 1919. Katherine married John, her husband of 50 years, in 1940. She started her career working at the Bay Georgian room until 1965 at which time she and her husband decided to own and operate Hallmark restaurant in downtown Winnipeg. After 20 years of dedication to their business, they retired in East St. Paul to take on a new job of caring for their grandchildren. She spent many years nurturing, supporting and travelling with her children and grandchildren. Katherine Ediger was a woman filled with kindness, generosity and determination. At 93 she still managed to call her family members on their birthdays, including her two great- grandchildren who are just two and four. For the past nine years she lived in the generous and loving care of Fred Douglas Lodge. We knew she was well looked after by her ladies in the Willow unit as she preferred to indulge on candies, chocolate bars and date squares rather than dine with the other residents in the cafeteria. She always had a song to sing, a prayer to share and a smile to give. She was so appreciative of all the people who cared for her. A loving sister, wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother will be missed by her two sons; Ron and Jeanette and their daughter Lisa, Dennis and children Darren and Dennise; one daughter Irene Aleshka and husband Alex and children Carmyn and Adam; brothers Abe and Henry Neufeld; grandchild John Ediger. Our dear Katherine will be missed but we know in our hearts she is ready to be with Jesus where she will join her husband, John Ediger, and son Kenneth Ediger; but more importantly where she can be the sunbeam she longed to be looking over us all. Funeral Services will be held on Tuesday, November 27, 2012 at 2:00 p.m. at Green Acres Funeral Home, Highway #1 East at Navin Rd. Interment will follow in Green Acres Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, contributions in Katherine's memory may be made to a charity of your choice. GREEN ACRES Funeral Home and Cemetery (204) 222-3241 Condolences may be sent to www.greenacresfuneralhome.com

I met Mrs. Ediger only a few times but the few times I met her I knew she was a very generous Grandmother and Mother. She was a very kind woman. My thoughts go out to John and his family - Posted by: Maureen Smith () on: Nov 27, 2012

I visited with your parents in their restaurant many years ago and also when they lived downtown near the Bay. Your mother was a very generous lady and my parents loved to visit with them. My sympathy to all of you. - Posted by: Helen Koop (her husband was my Dad's cousin, Henry Koop) on: Nov 25, 2012
