In loving memory of our mother Gerda Jensen, it is with heavy hearts we announce her passing on December 4, 2024 at the age of 91.
Gerda was born near Vester Nebel, Denmark and emigrated to Canada in 1958. In Denmark she is survived by her sisters Lis and Tove. Predeceased by her little brother Lindvig in 2014.
Before retirement at the age of 65 Gerda enjoyed many years working with her “boys” at Stentor as secretary. She also loved to volunteer in her spare time and spent years at the Citadel theatre and TELUS World of Science as well as other charities.
Gerda is survived by her children Sandra (Shane), Glenn (Heather), as well as her grandchildren Kirsten (AJ), Sarah and Kaitlyn. In 2024 Gerda was sadly predeceased by her youngest daughter Connie.
A Celebration of Life will be held for family in the spring.
Gerda passed away due to complications from dementia and cancer. In lieu of flowers a donation to your charity of choice can be made.
