ZIMMERSCHIED, Gertrud My wonderful friend Gertrud passed away at the Central Okanagan Hospice on February 25, 2013 at the age of 79 after a long and courageous battle with cancer. Gertrud was predeceased by her husband Werner in 2006 and survived by one son Peter (Lily), two grandchildren and one great-grandson, Beaumont, AB. Gertrud was an accomplished stitcher and created many beautiful framed embroideries. She loved her home, her garden with the beautiful roses and shopping. I had the priviledge of being her friend/caregiver prior to her stay at hospice and Gertrud leaves me with precious memories. I want to thank the incredible staff, nurses and volunteers for the wonderful care, compassion and love that was given to Gertrud and (me) during her 9 month stay in your beautiful facility. You truly became her family, you always made her feel special with your hugs and kind words. Allan and I will miss our friend and neighbour. Rest in peace my friend. Kristina Chase. Donations can be made to Central Okanagan Hospice, 2035 Ethel St., Kelowna, BC V1Y 2Z6
