BORRMANN, Magda of Exeter, formerly of London

It is with heartfelt sadness that we announce the passing of Magda Borrmann in her 98th year. Predeceased by her beloved husband Erwin Borrmann. Survived by son Peter (Jackie and family), and daughter Rita Shefsky (Stephen and granddaughter Samantha). Magda came to Canada from Germany in 1954 and worked hard to provide a comfortable home for her family. She took great pride in her garden, and loved to sew and read in her spare time. Magda was a very talented cook, one of the best.  May she rest in love and peace. A special thank you to the doctors and nurses for their kind and compassionate care at South Huron Hospital in Exeter. 

Donations to the South Huron Hospital Foundation would be appreciated by the family.  

Arrangements entrusted to Haskett Funeral Home, Exeter.

Rita I was so sad to hear about your mom’s passing.
She leaves behind an extraordinary legacy..
She was without a doubt a survivor, meticulous, extremely independent, tenacious and so hard-working.

 Dear Rita,
How saddened I am to hear that your dear mother Magda has passed away. What a beautiful photo of your mom and dad when they were younger! Anyone who has experienced the loss of their mother will understand the deep emotional impact that this has on you. Whether you were close or had different personalities , the impact of experiencing the loss of a parent is profound and it lingers on , setting in motion a whole series of memories from the past.
Rita, my thoughts are with you and your family at this time and and I am sending you lots of love. Hopefully we can see each other sometime in the New Year , whenever you feel up to it.

Linda
