REISS, Sigrid (Siggi) Hildegard Else (nee Fischer)
March 23, 1940 – February 11, 2023
Passed away Saturday, February 11 at the age of 82. In the days leading up to her passing, she was comfortable and surrounded by the love of many family members.
She will be dearly missed by her husband George, daughter Claudia and son-in-law Oliver, son Chris and daughter-in-law Leslee, her granddaughters Nicole and Chantelle, and her great-grandchildren Maddox and Amelia, as well as her many relatives and friends from around the world: Ontario, B.C., the U.S.A., Germany, Wales, Italy, and the Philippines. She is predeceased by her brothers, Rudolf and Rolf Fischer.
In 1967, Sigrid took a courageous voyage from Germany across the Atlantic, meeting the love of her life George. Together, they fulfilled her dream of owning a house in Canada. Sigrid was a vibrant and social lady who enjoyed parties and spending time with her big network of friends and family. She loved to keep up to date on all birthdays, anniversaries, and the health and well-being of those she cared deeply for. She will be remembered for her wicked sense of humor, quirky phrases translated from German, and her delicious baking and cooking. She definitely knew how to throw a party, loved hosting them, and loved everyone who attended.
In honour of Sigrid, a celebration of life will be planned for later this spring where we will all join her in spirit and say PROST! Arrangements entrusted to the WALL-CUSTANCE FUNERAL HOME & CHAPEL 519-822-0051 / www.wallcustance.com.
Memorial contributions to the Heart & Stroke Foundation would be appreciated.
A tree will be planted in memory of Sigrid H.E. Reiss in the Wall-Custance Memorial Forest.
