Leaving her homeland in Munich, Germany, venturing to Canada in her young years in hopes of a new beginning. Windsor was home for many years and later on moved to Kimberley BC, a city that tugged at both her and Joe's heart strings offering a little bit of the old country. Enjoying the Rockies and sunshine in Arizona throughout the years, her love for animals and gardening. Mom brought joy to all that heard her talented voice and accomplished yodeling, taking pride as she took to stage with her daughter's accordion accompaniment. She will be missed by all. Rest in peace Mom.
Many thanks to the wonderful care that she received from all the staff at the Pines.
