They spent most of their time camping, fishing, hunting, gardening as they both shared such a love for the outdoors.
She loved spending time with her family and was so proud of them all. She also had a deep love for all of her pets
Her hobbies over the years were knitting, playing cards, scrapbooking and making the most beautiful flower arrangements from her gardens. Having a visit over a cup of coffee with her friends and family was what she enjoyed the most.
Gertie was deeply loved by her family and friends, and she will be greatly missed.
The family would like to thank all of the staff at the Dryden Regional Hospital and Patricia Gardens for taking such great care of her.
As per Gerties wishes, cremation has taken place and there will be a private family service.
