Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryGRACE IRENE KLIMPKE Peacefully, on Monday, March 27, 2017, Grace Irene Klimpke passed away at Luther Home, at the age of 98, with family by her side. Grace was predeceased by her parents, William and Rose, her husband, Walter; her brothers and sisters; son-in-law, Leon, and granddaughter, Dianne Hamill. Grace will lovingly be remembered and deeply missed by her children, Eleanor Schultz, and David Klimpke (Debbie); grandchildren, Kurt Klimpke, Dana Campo (Paul), Trevor Schultz, and Ryan Schultz (Chelan); great-grandchildren, Alex, Jack and Luke, Lily and June; brothers and sisters-in-law, numerous nieces and nephews, and many friends. Grace was born the eighth of nine children to William and Rose Hughes on July 23, 1918 on Lily Field Dairy in the RM of Rosser. She married Walter Klimpke on June 4, 1942 and they started their own dairy farm in the area. The farm soon became home to their children, Eleanor and David, and was always a second home to their grandchildren. Granny will of course, be remembered for her special birthday cakes and baking. She loved baking, and always had something new for us to try. "Try this...I did something different this time" was something often heard. Some favourites were her shortbread cookies, cinnamon twists, stollen and hotcross buns. Family, friends, even her doctors and financial advisors were regular recipients of her dainty plates. Our family would like to extend their sincere appreciation to all of the staff at Luther Home for the care and compassion extended to Grace. Funeral service will be held on Saturday, April 1, 2017, at 1:00 p.m. at Immanuel Lutheran Church, 2528 King Edward Street. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Immanuel Lutheran Church or Luther Home in Grace's memory.

Condolences & Memories (1 entries)

We loved Aunt Grace and have so many memories of times spent on the farm with Walter, Grace, David & Eleanor and Kurt. As a young boy I spent many weeks during the summer months being part of the family, learning new responsibilities along with the motherly encouragement and discipline only mothers know how to do. She loved her family, the farm the animals and even the odd barn cat that adopted her and moved into her kitchen. Many times, no invitation required; drop ins were welcomed and Grace made sure we were all fed and to made to feel right at home again. Although I saw her at the home last year it is not the memory of her that I will keep. It is a lady bustling around her kitchen laughing, enjoying her family and friends and making everyone feel at home. Thanks mom for your influence on me and heaven will be a better place now that you are there. Our prayers and best wishes are with all of you at this time. Sincerely, The Stadelmeier Family - Posted by: Jack & Dorina Stadelmeier (Jack Nephew of Grace) on: Mar 30, 2017
