Apr 15, 2018
Peacefully with family by her side on Sunday, April 15, 2018 at the age of 101 years. Beloved wife of George Ronald Bunn (2012) for 73 years.
Loving mother of daughters Geraldine, Merle and Shirley, grandmother of five grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. She will be missed by her sisters Emma and Doris (Austin). Predeceased by brothers Kasper, Jack and Edward.
She gave her entire being to caring for her family. She lived through the Great Depression (her thriftiness showed it) and a World War, and raised three rambunctious daughters, yet always met the ups and downs of this world with a kind word and a smile.
"She was a lamplighter. She has taken her bright candle / And gone into a room we cannot find. / But anyone can tell where she has been / By all the little lights she left behind." (Author unknown)
A graveside service will be held in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan in the fall.
Donations in memory of Gert to the Heart and Stroke Foundation would be appreciated.
Special thanks to Dr. Burger, the staff of Sunridge Place and the staff at Cowichan District Hospital.
