<div itemprop="description">SPITZNAGEL, Fridel (nee Armbruster) <br /> <br />August 9, 1921 - Wolfach, Germany <br /> <br />November 30, 2014 - Calgary, Alberta <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Fridel Spitznagel passed away peacefully on Sunday, November 30 at the age of 93. She is survived by her son, Perry (Geneva); grandchildren, David (Ashley) and Michael; step-sister Angelika; sister-in-law Anita (Fred) Forster and numerous nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her son, Ralph, who died tragically in 1977 and her husband Kurt, in 2006. <br /> <br />Fridel was born in the beautiful town of Wolfach in the Black Forest (Schwarzwald) region of Germany where she spent her formative years. She lived through three tumultuous decades in Germany before she and Kurt immigrated to Canada in 1951. They settled in Quebec, before moving to Labrador City, Nfld in 1959 where they established their new lives and enjoyed many wonderful years raising their children. She and Kurt moved to Calgary in 1985 to enjoy their retirement years close to family, where she became Oma. <br /> <br />She was a homemaker and athlete (skiing, tennis, golf and hiking), a lover of nature and a passionate gardener. She was a warm, wise and loving person, physically strong and strong of will, and a survivor. She was elegant and proud, full of song and dance, laughter and joy. She will be greatly missed. <br /> <br />Thank you to the staff of Mayfair Care Centre for the exceptional care she received in her final years. <br /> <br />A Reception in celebration of her life will be held on Monday, December 15, 2014 from 4:00-6:00 pm at the Calgary Golf &amp; Country Club. In lieu of flowers a donation may be made to a charity of choice. <br /> <br /></div>
