Karin Struve
1943-2022
Karin Struve, 231 Rear Settlement Road, Harvey, York County, NB died
on September 30, 2022. Born on October 11, 1943 in Bad Homburg,
Germany, she was the daughter of the late Annemarie Bachmann and the
late Rudolf Bachmann. In Germany, Karin worked as a secretary and
accountant for many years.
Together with her late husband, Hans-Georg, she came to Canada as an
immigrant in 1984 and made Harvey her home. She loved this country and
regarded it as a special privilege to become a Canadian citizen. In
Canada, Karin worked as a professional cook for several years followed
by many years as a home support worker for the Harvey Outreach for
Seniors, a role that she treasured. In that capacity, she not only
earned the respect of her colleagues and other health professionals
but has been loved by all the seniors she cared for.
Karin is predeceased by her husband Hans-Georg Struve.
She is survived by two step sons Ulrich Struve (Katharine),
Emmendingen, Germany, and Friedrich Struve (Maria), Rosenheim,
Germany; one step granddaughter Phoebe and three step grandsons
Samuel, Alexander, and Benedict; one sister-in-law Helga (Struve)
Gueldner, Krefeld, Germany, and a brother-in-law Michael Struve,
Wolfenbuettel, Germany; as well as several cousins in Germany and
Norway.
With unfailing kindness, generosity, and love she treated her step
children and grandchildren as her own. She took pride and great
interest in all their accomplishments. Several visits allowed the
grandchildren to meet her and form a bond with their “Canada
Granny”, making these feelings mutual and the loss deeply felt.
At Karin’s request there will be no visitation and no funeral
service. Her ashes will be put to rest at a later date at the Harvey
Settlement Cemetery.
Anyone wishing to make a donation in Karin’s memory, please know
that the deceased would like it to be given to the Harvey Outreach for
Seniors or to the Harvey Fire Department.
