Irmgard Kauth
December 4, 1938 to May 12, 2018
It is with the heaviest of hearts we say see you later to our Mother, Oma and Tic Toc Oma as she slipped away peacefully with her family by her side on May 12, 2018.
Born Dec 4, 1938, Mom immigrated to Canada in 1968 with her adoring husband Helmut who predeceased her in January of 2017. Together once again, they can now keep a keen eye on all of us. Settling in Peachland in the early 70’s, they built the family home and raised their family. Mom was very active with Girl Guides of Canada in Peachland where she was a leader for several years. Mom worked up until her retirement in 2004 at Illichmann’s Deli – many will remember Frau Kauth behind the glass counter.
Irmgard leaves behind her precious cargo – Son Ralf (Corrie), Daughters Heike (Michael) and Jutta (Richard), Grandchildren; Joshua, Tyler, Kyra, Ben, Danielle, Ashley (Riley), Alix and her Great-granddaughter Amelia Grace. Also left behind are her Brothers; Heinz and Bernd and beloved Sister Marlene, her extended family in Germany and last but not least, her pup Bobo.
Mom’s greatest joy was time she could spend with her family and extended family. Gatherings throughout the year – she would cook for days before to have everything perfect for whatever reason she came up with to have the family come share a meal, some laughs and a glass of her favorite, Okanagan Pear Cider.
Mom was one of the most upbeat, positive people you would ever meet – she had a heart bigger than life and always did for others, not much for herself. She would sacrifice anything to make sure everyone else was looked after like only she knew how. Since the passing of Dad in January of last year, we tried to make sure it was ‘her turn’ and we know she really enjoyed that from us!
Her last wish was to join Dad “Pronto”, we are, with broken hearts, grateful she got this wish granted for her last Mother’s Day. We now will watch out for your visits… Butterflies and Dragonflies forever.
No service by request – a Celebration of Life will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Canadian Heart & Stroke Foundation.
