Eileen Yantzi Obituary
Eileen Yantzi (nee Gerber) was a selfless and extraordinary caregiver who always put family first. As a daughter, sister, wife, mother, grandmother, or friend; her primary concern was caring for those she loved. Is everyone ok? Does everyone have enough? When communication became difficult, a single word, gesture, or expression on her face asked those same questions. Her legacy is that her husband and children have learned how to love and care for each other.
Eileen is remembered by her loving husband of sixty-five years Orlin Yantzi; her children Sandra (Christopher), Thomas (Katherine), Sherry (Bernard), Terrance (Emma), and Jennifer (Steven). Cherished by grandchildren: Gretchen (Jessica), Elizabeth, and Emma; Jonathan (Allison), Alexandra (Victoria), and Nicholas (Jacqueline); Samuel (Elysia), and Joel; Thomas and Lauren, and her great grandchildren: Theodore and Nadiya, and Remy. She is survived by her sister Viola Gerber; her brother-in-law and sister-in-law Earl Yantzi and Alma Conn, and lifelong friends Manny and Mary Ellen Brubacher.
She was born in Brunner, Ontario. Eileen was predeceased by her parents Daniel and Idella Gerber, her sister Audrey and husband Paul Schegel, and brother-in-law Lorne Gerber, her parents-in-law Joseph and Emma Yantzi and their children Violetta and Oscar Borntrager, Hubert and Dorothy Yantzi, and Kenneth and Alma Yantzi.
