Gerda Kallies

October 4, 1928 – November 10, 2019

It is with heart felt sorrow that we announce the passing of Gerda Martha Kallies in her 92nd year, on Sunday November 10, 2019.

Gerda was Born in Greifenberg, Germany; she married Arthur in 1960; and they both immigrated to Canada in 1961.  Gerda loved and devoted her life to her family and to God.  She was loyal and true; a strong and fierce individual with a heart of gold.  Gerda enjoyed animals and music.  She enjoyed Cross Stitching and knitting on her knitting machine.

Gerda is survived and will be deeply missed by her husband Arthur, her son Peter (Bev) and her two grandchildren Michael and Michelle.  Her loving and caring nature, and her unconditional love will be missed immensely. 

Thank you to New Vista Care Home for her care during her time there.

No Public Service by request.  

“Death leaves a heartache no one can heal; love leaves a memory no one can steal.”   Though your smile is gone forever, And your hand we cannot touch Still we have so many memories Of the one we loved so much. Your memory is our keepsake with which we will never part God has you in his keeping We have you in our hearts.   It is sad to walk the road alone, Instead of side by side, But to all there comes a moment When the ways of life divide. You gave us years of happiness Then came sorrow and tears, But you left us beautiful memories, We will treasure through the years.
