Obituary of Erna Lydia Storvick

Erna Lydia Storvick

(November 14, 1922 - November 14, 2018)

Erna Lydia Storvick of Camrose, Alberta, formerly of Bawlf, passed away on Wednesday, November 14, 2018 at the age of 96 years.

Edna was born on November 14, 1922 to Lydia and John Gertsch on the family farm east of Bawlf.
Erna and Edvin met in Bawlf. On December 1, 1943 Erna and Edvin were married; they had to wait thirteen years before Diane came to join their family. Erna spent most of her life at Bawlf until she moved into Camrose to live at Rosealta Lodge. In March of 2018, Erna moved to Louise Jensen, Hawthorn Cottage until the time of her passing.
Erna was well known for the flowers she had around and in her house. At one time the number of house plants was thirty-six plus. She had a coffee table that was home to the most beautiful violets. If you had trouble growing a plant of any kind you could give it to Erna and she could bring it back. She was always happy to visit with family and friends. Nieces and nephews often stopped for a visit then later grandchildren and their friends could be seen stopping for a cookie or a glass of juice.
Erna passed away peacefully with her family at her side on her 96th birthday.
 

She is survived by her daughter Diane (Darrell) Albers of Camrose; grandchildren Ed (Tammy) of Bawlf, Rob (Kim) of Okotoks and Lynette (John) Snider of New Norway; great-grandchildren Tia, Mariyah and Trey Albers, Colby and Ty Albers, and Cassandra and Julie Snider; brother-in-law Milton Mosand; and numerous nieces and nephews.
Erna was predeceased by her husband Ed; parents John and Lydia Gertsch; sisters Lucy Reich, Alma Gunderson, and Florence Mosand; brothers Freddie, John, and Walter; and nephews David Mosand and Terry Gunderson.   We love you. Rest in Peace.

A funeral service was held at 10:30 a.m., Wednesday, November 21, 2018 from the Bawlf Lutheran Church with Rev. Calvin Skriver officiating. Interment has taken place in the Bawlf Public Cemetery.
