KURBIS, Lotte Luise May 19, 1932 – December 27, 2023
She will be lovingly remembered by her children, Alfred Kurbis and Irene Schlitt; son-in-law, Wilfred Schlitt; grandchildren, Brittany (Nathaneal) Motz, and Brandon Friesen; her brother, Seigfried Boehling and his children Norbert, Regina and Peter; her sisters-in-law, Elfreida Berzins, Else Frank, Emmy Boehmer, and Erna Boehling; as well as numerous friends.
Lotte was born in Danzig, Germany, and experienced the horrors of war. She Ewald in Germany. He immigrated to Canada in 1953, and she followed, they were married in 1954. They settled in Vernon, BC, and Alfred and Irene were born. They experienced much hardship, and in 1965, moved to Golden, BC, until 2006. With her husband’s failing mental and physical health, she moved to Airdrie, AB, so she could be near to both of her children. When Ewald was forced to go into long term care, she stayed by his side constantly until his death in 2016. In March 2023, her third stroke took away her mobility and dexterity, but her sense of humour was still vivid as she made us laugh with her antics. We rest in knowing she loved her Lord and Saviour and is with him. Her Celebration of Life will be held at Grace Baptist Church in Airdrie on Friday, March 22, 2024 at 11:30 AM.
