Edith Hunsberger

2/8/2017

4 Comments

 
Edith Gertrude Hunsberger (Byer) passed away peacefully on February 8, 2017 in her 92nd year. 

She was predeceased by her husband Wilson and survived by her five children: Ann (Gary Palamar), Jeannette (Geoffrey Horsfield), Tom (Gaby Yanez), Karen (Michael Dunn), and Elise (Rob Rathier), and; her beloved grandchildren, Simon Palamar (Katharine McGowan), Max Palamar, Chris and Ian Horsfield, Zenyi Hunsberger and Atzi (Vicente Alonso).

Born and raised in Markham Ont., she lived most of her life in Waterloo and Victoria B.C., with short stints in both India and Bangladesh.

Edith was a well-travelled bird watcher with a great sense of humour and will be sadly missed.

She was a true joy.

A memorial gathering will be held at Conrad Grebel Chapel, 140 Westmount Road North, Waterloo, on February 18 at 2:30 pm. If you wish, a donation to M.C.C. could be made in Edith's memory.

To Elise and all Edith's family I want to express my heartfelt condolences. Edith and I had a very happy association begun through a shared interest in birding and developed over the years into a true friendship. Edith was a fine woman of strong character and a good friend who will be missed. Germaine.

Dear Ann and family:
Please accept my sincere condolences. Your Mom had a long and adventurous life, as did mine. Our mothers' obituaries were published on the same day.

To the Hunsberger Family: May fond memories of your mom help you at this sad time. I remember your family well when you came to Erb St.Mennonite Church many years ago. Your mom was a gentle, kind woman. Your dad gave me a job at Children's Aid Society and I worked there for 35 years altogether. I have fond memories of both of your parents. Our sincere condolences to each of you. Jean Fretz (Nee Snyder)

Dear Hunsberger Family,
What a joy it was to know Edith and to share in her (and Wilson's) ability to be welcoming and make friends like us always feel at home. We admired her open heart, her caring nature, her adventurous and independent spirit.
You will all have many stories and memories to share as you celebrate Edith's life.
We will be with you in spirit and love,
Grey Chase and Elizabeth Quong
