Hanni was born and raised in East Germany and married Hubert in West Germany in 1952. She then followed her husband to Canada in 1955 to start a new life. Hanni was an accomplished seamstress who wowed many a client with her beautiful and expert work, and in the old days of Germany would also model selected articles of clothing for the purpose of alteration to fit and purchase for the client. Hanni's favorite sport became tennis and she became an excellent and enthusiastic player in a short time and enjoyed the game for many years with her husband and tennis loving friends. Hanni also loved to travel, travelling to southern destinations in the winter with her husband, and having never forgotten her homeland of Germany, would also often go visit friends and relatives she had left behind there. Hanni was an amazing mom and wife who loved to cook great traditional German meals and bake amazing German treats for her friends and family to enjoy. We will greatly miss our much loved mom, Oma and wife! She will be in our hearts forever!
