Peacefully at Lakeridge Health Whitby on Saturday June 6th 2020, at the age of 90. Beloved wife and sweetheart to the late Gerhard Siegele. Loving Mother of Karen Ross (Donald), Martin (Kerry) and the late Erich (Vicki). Cherished Grandmother of Scott Wilson (Assa), Aidan and Erica Siegele and Christina Wyton. Predeceased by her parents Gustav and Karoline Schellenberger. Margarete will be lovingly remembered by her family, friends, and those that had the pleasure of knowing her. Margarete was a loving wife, mother and Oma that blessed her family with her caring nature and wonderful homemade desserts. Her faith in Jesus Christ our Saviour was unbounded. It gives us peace and comfort in knowing that she has returned to be with the Father in Heaven to share in his everlasting love with those of her family and friends who have gone before. A special thank you to the staff at Lakeridge Health Whitby 4 East for their care and compassion. In keeping with Margarete’s wishes, cremation and private internment will take place at a later date. Arrangements entrusted to DeStefano Funeral Home (905)440 3595. If Desired, Memorial donations to the Lakeridge Health Whitby Foundation would be appreciated.
