May 2, 1926 - December 29, 2024
Ernestine Julie Rupprecht (nee Muller) entered this world on May 2, 1926. She left this dimension for the next realm on Sunday, December 29, 2024 at 5:44 p.m. She said she had one final appointment that she could not miss. She wanted to live to be 100 years old, but recently announced to her daughter "I'm sorry, I have to leave you sooner than expected, I cannot miss my final appointment. I love you so much".
She loved her church, her congregation, her community. She belonged to 3 choirs and loved to sing (English & German), it was her meditation and communion with God.
She loved to dance, and loved to laugh. And this Couturier Designer loved colour, fabric, texture and clothes. She could look at you and design a tailor-made outfit like magic. Her hats, they competed each outfit and were worn in respect and reverence for God and life.
She spoke 5 languages and lived in Canada for 70 years. Life in a foreign country, as an independent parent was challenging but working 3 jobs she still devoted herself to her two children and grand children.
She has passed on her tenacity, strength, courage, curiosity & joy for life to her daughter Jessy, and her grandchildren Ian & Laura Morrison, and Walter Lee. She left when she knew we could now take care of ourselves.
Everyone said her smile was like a blessing, it was infectious; as was her joy of life. Rest in peace Ernestine, we are grateful to have had you in our lives so long.
There will be a service with lots of colour and singing at Grace United Church.
Ashes will be taken back to her Family Crypt in Austria.
