July 9, 1939 - October 16, 2020
It is with sadness in our hearts that we announce the passing of Erna Dobler on October 16, 2020 after a long and courageous struggle with cancer.
Erna is survived and lovingly remembered by Karl, her husband of 63 years, her daughters Irene Christianson (Rod), Christina Wilson (Russ), her son Carl (Naomi), grandchildren Randy (Brianne), Carmen and Scarlet, and her great-grandchildren Austin, Sierra, Jacob, and Christian.
Also survived by her family in Nabburg, Germany; siblings Maria Hauser, Josef Urban (Berta), Anneliese Zweck (Franz), her Tante Mina and her many nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her grandson Rudy Christianson in 2016.
Erna immigrated to Canada from Germany in 1957 at the age of 18. She married Karl in Williams Lake and they settled in Lac la Hache where they remained to this day. Erna was an excellent baker and in the early years would be asked to bake her cakes for community fundraisers.
She was an avid reader and enjoyed gardening, knitting and sewing. Erna volunteered for many years at the Lac la Hache Thrift Store which she enjoyed very much. Erna was kind, loving and a supportive presence in our lives and will be sorely missed.
There will be no service or gathering. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the Canadian Cancer Society.
