A mother to many, a dear friend to multitudes, an example to all. On July 18, 2013, at the age of 87, Gertrude made a peaceful departure from this world, at home, surrounded by family. She lived a long life filled with love, kindness, laughter and expressed her creativity through painting and flowers. Gertrude was dearly loved and cherished by Peter, her husband of 58 yrs. Her generous, gracious and gentle spirit will be forever and fondly cherished, in particular by her children Jenny (Zahi), Anne (Joe), Robert (Nicole) and Joy (Fred). Also by her grandchildren Andrew, Patricia, Alexandra, Diana, Nicholas, Natalie, Anthony, Dale, Julia, Anna, Adreena, Amanda and Sarah and great-grandchildren Osirus, Paul, Ameera and Lily Alice. All who knew her were blessed. A memorial service to honour and celebrate her life will be held on Tuesday, July 23, 2013 at 10:30 a.m. at Bethany Baptist Church, 382 Centrepointe Dr, Ottawa. Our heartfelt thanks to Dr. Yao, Dr. Coulombe and to all of the caring nurses and PSWs of the Ravines and CCAC. Donations may be made to the Alzheimer Society or the Canadian Cancer Society.
