August 6, 1927 – November 9, 2023

It is with heavy hearts that we say goodbye to our beloved mother and Oma who passed peacefully in her sleep at the age of 96 at Port Perry Place on Thursday, November 9, 2023.

Loving wife and best friend to Josef for 71 years prior to his passing on January 3, 2020.

Devoted mother to Peter (the late Tina), Trudi Wright (Neil), stepmother to Gunter Puschmann (Barbara) in Austria.

Loving Oma to Shannon Jansen (Mark), Amanda May (Brian), Paul Torok (Candice).

Great Oma to Kate Jansen and Riley May. With great strength and courage they immigrated to Canada in 1953 from Austria with their 3 year old twins to embark on a new beginning.

They became Canadian citizens and enjoyed a long rich life in their new home.

They were truly blessed to be able to see their children, grand children and great grandchildren grow up. As well they enjoyed boating, water skiing and travelling.

They made many trips back to visit their roots in Austria. She loved to draw bake and loved their dogs.

She was also an avid swimmer, water skier and was still going off diving boards in her nineties.

She was a hairdresser with her own salon for many years which was located above the Regent Theatre in Oshawa.

Sincerest gratitude to the staff at Port Perry Place for their compassionate care.

A joint Celebration of Life will be held on Wednesday, December 27, 2023 from 11:30 a.m. – 1:30 p.m. at MOUNT LAWN FUNERAL HOME & CEMETERY .
