Gerlinde, 78, passed away on 1 February 2013 in Terrace, B.C. while in palliative care at Terraceview Lodge.
Gerti was born to Anna (nee Kostron) and Rudolf Urner on 10 October 1934 in Schildberg (Štíty), Czechoslovakia. She lived in Germany before settling in Northwestern B.C with her family and most of her siblings in May 1960.
Gerlinde is most known for her many years of work at Bert’s Delicatessen. It is at the Deli where she was able to do the things she loved most: share stories, laughs, and of course food.
She is predeceased by her parents; her husband (Hans Langheinrich); her sisters: Anni (Leon) Kawa and Hilda (Siegfried) Kriegl; and brothers: Rudy and Helmut Urner.
Gerlinde is survived by her Children: Gabriele (Robert) Prevost, Udo (Sandra) Langheinrich; Grandchildren: Dallas (Jose) Pacheco, Jason (Leslie) Prevost, Michael Prevost, and Joey (Tamara) Prevost; Great-grandchildren: Marina (Tanner), Ariana, & Anthony Pacheco, Payton Prevost, and Samuel & Alexander Prevost; many nieces, nephews, cousins, and other relatives including her sisters-in-law: Lynne and Gunda Urner; and the Buchele and Kluger families of Germany.
Gerlinde was cremated on 5 February 2013 at the Terrace Crematorium. As per her request, the family will be having a private ceremony to scatter a portion of her cremains at a later date.
