Gisela Gottschling (nee Schwarz) passed away peacefully to be with her Lord and Saviour on Monday, January 25th, 2016 in Kelowna at the age of 87 years.

She was the much loved mother of Ingrid (Ray), Karen (Gerry) and Armin (Helena) and a loving Oma to Travis (Stephanie), Ryan (Susan), Danika (Dale), Carson (Lisa) and Matthew. She leaves behind sixteen great grandchildren – what a legacy! Gisela is also survived by two brothers, Lothar (Nora) in Winnipeg and Dietmar (Hedda) in Germany as well as numerous nieces and nephews. Gisela was predeceased by her older sister Hortense.

Gisela was happiest when surrounded by family, preparing delicious meals and spending time with her grandkids and great grandkids. Mom also loved dogs and as her health began to fail, was cheered by visits from family pets, Lucy and Maggie.
