Gertrude Hedwig BOROWSKI

OBITUARY GERTRUDE HEDWIG AKERBLOM Born in 1911, in Libau, Latvia, died peacefully in Abottsford, B.C. at the Tabor Home, with family at her side. She was the daughter of Friedrich and Auguste Borowski, sister of Anna Borowski. Having left her birth country in 1936 and living through the war Germany and until 1953, she and her husband, Herbert, who passed away in 1987, moved to Canada, with the children. She was the rock of Gibraltar for her family, in her wisdom and calmness and we will never forget her guidance through our sometimes troubled waters. She will be sorely missed by her sons Frithjof (Helene) and Peter (Mariangela) as well as her three grandchildren, which she cherished and loved, Kim, Daniela, and Oliver. With her outgoing and outspoken personality, she will be missed by all the family and friends living in Germany, Canada and the USA. She fully enjoyed life and her spirit will stay in our hearts forever. Donations in lieu of flowers can be made to the Tabor Home Society, 31944 Sunrise Crescent, Abbottsford, B.C. in her name. A private memorial service will be held November 22, at 2:30 p.m. at Tabor Home. Published in the Montreal Gazette on 11/16/2007
