ANNEMARIE HIRSCH

1939-2020

It is with deep sadness that we announce the peaceful passing of Annemarie Hirsch on April 15, 2020 at 80 years of age after a brief illness.  She was surrounded by her loving family.

Annemarie is survived by her two children and their families that she cherished; son Harry (Ramona) Hirsch, Jonathon and Julianne, daughter Caroline (Ward) Elder, Eric (Caleigh), precious great grandson Jackson and Jessica (Tamairik) Tyrell.

She was predeceased by her husband John Hirsch in 2003. Since being widowed, Annemarie bravely travelled to her winter home in Mazatlan, and enjoyed making new friends. In Mexico she joyfully tended to neighbourhood parks and loved her bougainvillea tree in her backyard.

In Winnipeg she lovingly tended vegetables, berries, grape vines, heirloom tomatoes and a variety of flowers. Annemarie’s garden was sacred to her and reflected God’s amazing work.

Mom was happiest when family and friends gathered at her table laughing and enjoying each other’s company. We enjoyed parties, delicious gooseberry tortes and roaring laughter.

Annemarie was small in stature but incredibly energetic. She accomplished many feats with stubbornness and artistic flair. Annemarie loved fiercely, worked tirelessly, gave generously of her time and talents. She was so very grateful for the many years she had to enjoy her loved ones.

A memorial will take place in the future.
