Annemarie Stadele

February 26,1926 - September 25, 2020

She spent her last summer tending and harvesting her own vegetables and the beautiful flowers she loved; then gently slipped away after being accompanied by loving family members throughout her last few days.

Annemarie (nee Kummerlander) was born in Germany. In 1952, with a baby in her arms and a toddler by the hand, she followed her husband Hans Stadele over the ocean to Sudbury, Ontario. Her love of reading helped her to learn English and teach the language to her, by then, three pre-schoolers. After five years in several parts of Ontario, the family, including a cat and kittens, spent the summer driving to Prince George, BC, soon moving to nearby Vanderhoof.

In 1965 Annemarie and family arrived in the Nicola Valley, where both Annemarie and Hans spent the rest of their days. She was always a dedicated gardener, seamstress, cook, baker and a full time homemaker.

Annemarie is survived by her three daughters Irmgard (Joe), Gertrude (Al) and Brunhild (Bob), and "Oma" to ten grandchildren and numerous great-grandchildren,

We extend heartfelt thanks to Dr. Simpson and the caring staff of NVGH, for their "above and beyond" care of our mom and Oma.
