Predeceased by her father Gustav, mother Sofia, husband George, daughter Ingrid and sister Suzanna. Mom was born Sept. 1, 1936 in Cataloi, Romania. She immigrated to Canada in 1951 with her mother and sisters. They made their way to Winnipeg, where she met George. They were married in 1952 and raised three children in a loving home. Wonderful summers were spent at Lester Beach. Mom's talents were many, from baking and cooking to handicrafts of every sort; her love of doll collecting was a passion. She was a member of the German Society for many years, managing the bar and restaurant. Her involvement in Folklorama brought her joy. Mom took immense pride in her home and family, especially her grandchildren. Erna had a special place in her heart for her pets. Retirement brought George and Erna to Peachland where they lived out their final years in their own little paradise. We love you Mom and Oma. Auf wiedersehen. The family would like to express their gratitude for the care Mom received at Kelowna General Hospital. A special thanks to staff on 4A. A funeral service was held on Friday, January 30 at 1:00 p.m. at Springfield Funeral Home, 2020 Springfield Road, Kelowna, BC.
