She was born May 11, 1921 in Lichtental, Bessarabia. She is survived by her son Heinz (Christine) and their children Katharine (Kory), Kurt (Nikki), Karen (Rocco); her daughter Trudy Paradoski (Russ) and their children Stephanie (Rory), Samantha (Evan), and Trevor, and her younger brother Traugott living in Germany. She was predeceased by her husband Helmut in 1990, and five of her brothers and sisters. Irma married Helmut in Germany in 1948 and after the upheavals of the war decided to immigrate to Canada to start a new life. They arrived in Canada in 1950 first living in Winnipeg and then settled in the Little Britain-Selkirk area where she resided the rest of her life. Upon arriving in Canada she worked for a few years and then became a stay at home mother raising her family. Irma worked very hard looking after things at home while Helmut spent long days establishing his business. Irma had many friends in the German community and enjoyed many gatherings and social events. She was a founding member of Good Shepherd Lutheran Church and participated in the Ladies Auxiliary and Seniors group. Her grandchildren were her pride and joy. She loved them dearly and was always interested in their activities and accomplishments. They gave her a great deal of happiness. Irma was a loving, caring, and wonderful mother and Oma who will be missed dearly by her family. The family would like to give special thanks to the Homecare staff and Red River Place Nursing Home staff for all their care and compassion shown to her.
