Obituary for Elfrieda "Frieda" Emma Schaerer (Brachmann)

Elfrieda "Frieda" Emma Schaerer (Brachmann)
It is with heavy hearts we announce the passing of Mrs. Elfrieda Emma ‘Frieda’ Schaerer at Villa Marie Covenant Care, Red Deer, Alberta on Wednesday, January 27, 2016 at the age of 89 years. We take comfort in knowing that she now rests with her Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. Frieda was born on August 23, 1926 at Scheuba, Germany. She immigrated to Canada at the age of three and spent her childhood growing up on a farm west of Ponoka, Alberta. On December 22, 1951, she married John Schaerer at Bismark Lutheran Church and they made Red Deer their lifelong home. While raising her family, Frieda held many jobs – grading eggs at Alpha Dairies; working at the old Met Store; and selling Fuller Brush. Frieda was always active and had many pastimes including crocheting, knitting, playing piano and organ, tending her flower garden, walking and playing board games with her grandkids. She was an accomplished cake decorator, as well as a talented pianist and shared her love of music playing organ at Mount Calvary Lutheran Church for several decades, and entertaining seniors in extended care facilities. She was an avid volunteer and spent many hours assisting at the Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre and several retirement homes. Frieda will be lovingly remembered by her two sons, Harvey (Terrie) and three children, Taylor, Logan (Sheena) and their twin daughters Ariana and Everly, and Fontaine; and Gerry (Queen) and two children, Bryan and Stephanie. She will also be sadly missed by sister-in-law, Myrtle; as well as numerous nieces and nephews. Frieda was predeceased by her husband, John; parents, Rudolph and Wanda Brachmann; brother, Teophil; sisters, Hulda and Erna; and brother, Otto. A Funeral Service will be held at Mount Calvary Lutheran Church, 18 Selkirk Blvd., Red Deer, Alberta on Monday, February 1, 2016 at 11:00 a.m., with visitation one hour prior. Interment will be held at the Bismark Cemetery, west of Ponoka, Alberta. Memorial Donations in Frieda’s honor may be made directly to the Mount Calvary Lutheran Church Building Fund or to the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Alberta and N.W.T. at www.heartandstroke.ab.ca.
