Herta Fischer passed away peacefully on Thursday, June 11, 2009 in Vancouver.  Herta is survived by her two sister’s Renate and Erika as well as her two nephews and four nieces all in Germany.
Herta loved to travel and as a child vowed to her family that she would go abroad. She did indeed travel and worked in the hospitality industry throughout Europe.  In 1962 she was offered a prestigious position at the Four Season’s Hotel in Toronto and eventually continued her career in Vancouver.  Herta also was an avid hiker, who loved good food, and had discerning taste in film, music and art. Herta had an elegant, beautiful, and gracious spirit. Herta’s friends loved and truly appreciated her many wonderful attributes.  All will sadly miss her.
A memorial service will be held for Herta 1:00 pm, Saturday, June 20 at The Centre for Peace, in the Fireside room located at 1825 W 16th Ave, Vancouver.
In lieu of flowers donations may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society.
