On Monday, July 21, 2014 at 8:00am, Mrs Maria Meyer passed away at the age of 78. Maria will be forever remembered by her husband and best friend of 42 years Juergen, and her children Heidi and Derek, grandchildren, Kyle, Shannen and Alex.

Those who had the fortune of knowing Maria knew her love of animals.  Her two dogs, Bobbie and Benny were by her side in her last days.  Maria was an amazing cook and baker.  Her Black Forest cake a favourite of all.  She loved to garden and spent numerous hours in the yard tending to her flowers. Maria never shied away from hard work.  From the day she arrived in Canada, she quickly found work in a German delicatessen in Terrace, BC and learned to speak English.  Maria’s hard work paid off and once in Kamloops, it helped her get a position at Woodward’s where she worked as a cashier until well after the merger with Safeway.

Special thanks to the doctors and nurses at Ponderosa Lodge for their care, compassion and support.

No Formal Ceremony will be held at this time.
