It is with great sadness that the family of Käthe Ingeborg Miarka (nee Friedrich) announce her passing on Tuesday, April 13, 2021, at Caressant Care in Lindsay, Ontario, at the age of 94.

In 1961, her life’s journey brought her from Germany to Canada, where she and her late husband, Josef, planted roots in Uxbridge’s farming community.

Käthe was a kind and caring person who gave generously of her heart to those she loved. Gatherings of family, friends and faith gave her the greatest joy.

She leaves her gentle footprint on our hearts. Käthe will be lovingly remembered by her brother-in-law, Adalbert Miarka, sister-in-law, Christl Miarka, nephew Andreas Miarka (Judy), nieces Christine Miarka, Therese Murray (Joe), and Gudrun Steimle; great-niece and nephews, Kirsten Paris, Erich Miarka, Ralph Murray and Nicholas Murray, and missed by her closest friends.

Käthe is predeceased by her dear husband, Josef Miarka, parents Reinhold and Marie Friedrich, brothers Konrad, Gerhard, and Max, sister, Charlotte; sister-in-law Marie and brother-in-law Otto Piplack of Ontario.

Due to COVID-19 protocols a private service is being held.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to a charity of choice.
