Mom was a lifelong learner, long time supporter of the knowledge network, attending elder college programs in computer and Spanish. Fluent in 3 languages (German, Hungarian, English) Avid bowler and loved to read.
Loving mother and fantastic homemaker. Excelled in organic gardening, adored her massive flower gardens and loved to open a jar of home canned produce.
Loved to bake and spent many hours in the sewing room. Mom could make anything, sewing a tailored wardrobe for the many trips to Europe, also as snowbirds down south, she took with Dad upon his retirement.
Mom enjoyed all crafts, knitting, crocheting, embroidery needlepoint, quilting, to mention a few of her achievements. Mom loved company and enjoyed entertaining in her home. Mom always said "I was Hungarian by birth, German by ethnicity and a very proud Canadian."
Left to cherish, this loving, kind, gentle woman, her children, Susi, Mike, Canada Johnny (Helen) and Hungary, Kati (Andras) Juilianna, Bori, Erzsi (Gyrui) Dora.
The family wish to thank Nurse Margaret (homecare), all of the CHWs, who made it possible for Mom to remain in her home. Thank you to Father Micheal , (Dr Grant), Dr Mohamedalii,, Dr Woodley, Dr Johnsen and the staff of Ty Watson house, who made the last days as pain free as possible.
Later in life, Mom's favorite saying was "Tomorrow will be a better day"
