Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryCHRISTINE SCHUHMANN It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Christine Schuhmann on Saturday, May 19, 2012 at home surrounded by her loved ones. Christine is survived by her loving husband Hermann, parents Hans and Elisabeth Burkhard, her sister Silvia (Hans Sutter) and mother-in-law Ida Schuhmann. She will be greatly missed by her extended family Maria (Wolfgang), Kilian (Edith), Wendelin (Astrid), Siegfried (Barbara), Lissy (Otto) and Engelbert (Britton), and her nephew and nieces: Michael, Nicole, Nadine, Daniela and Vicky. Christine was born on February 20, 1957 in Lengnau, Bern, Switzerland. At the age of 24, Christine moved to Montreal with her parents, where they operated CHRISTINE'S EXCLUSIVE SHOES. After the business was sold, she worked as a receptionist at a Car Rental business and after that as an accountant at Titanium Ltd. Despite her busy work schedule, Christine still found time to sing in her church. As fate would have it, this is where Hermann heard the voice of an angel and on June 1 of 1991, they were married. They moved to Elma, MB where they set up H C Electronics. Never one to sit still, Christine also worked as a Health Care Aide, Medical Receptionist and Doctor's Assistant from 1992 until December, 2011 at the Whitemouth District Health Centre. At the same time, Christine established herself as a professional singer and toured North America and Europe. Throughout her many years of dedicated service in the clinic, Christine has been an inspiration around the world touching countless lives with her kindness, compassion and beautiful, angelic voice. We are so grateful for the overwhelming outpouring of support from family, friends and this community. A special Thank You goes out to Betty and Louise for their sincere dedication to Christine and her loved ones in those last couple days. Funeral arrangements have been made for Saturday, May 26 at 11:00 a.m. at Sobering Funeral Chapel, 1035 Park Avenue E., Beausejour, MB. After the service, interment will be in the Whitemouth Lutheran Cemetery, followed by a celebration of Christine's life at the Whitemouth Hall.

Prayers and condolences to the family of Christine, it is always too soon to lose a loved one. She is now singing in the great choir we all will join in time. As always with the Faith it was Es War Einmal and then it becomes Auf Wiedersehen. She will always be loved by her people and greatly missed. - Posted by: Franz Unger (Musician Colleague) on: May 26, 2012

We met Christine and Herrmann only a couple of times through our friends Ron & Karen Schulz. We have been praying for Christine since we heard of her illness. Christine struck us as a woman with much vibrancy and love for life and others. She had a gentleness of spirit and a genuine interest in those she met. I think a rare gem has left earth to join Heaven's treasury. Our thoughts and prayers are with Herrmann, his family and all of his and Christine's many, dear friends. ~ Stefan & Kay Wagener - Posted by: Stefan and Kay Wagener (Met through a friendship of Herrmann and Christine) on: May 24, 2012

I had the good fortune of working musically with Christine and will truly miss her presence in my studio but will forever hear that lovely voice resonate within me. Rest in peace Christine.-Dan - Posted by: Dan Donahue (friend) on: May 24, 2012

My sympathy to Hermann and Christine's family. There is a new and wonderful voice singing in the Lord's choir. The Lord must have wanted a new voice and so he took Christine. I will miss her cheery "Goodmorning" when I walked through the clinic. God Bless and Keep you. Teri - Posted by: Teri Walker () on: May 23, 2012
