Gerlinde (Oma) Dagilis (née Pieper)

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Gerlinde (Oma) Dagilis on Tuesday, April 22, 2025, at the age of 86. Oma passed peacefully at the University of Ottawa Heart Institute.

Born on April 11, 1939, in Soest, Germany, Oma was a woman of quiet strength, deep devotion, and boundless generosity.

Oma was a proud mother to Frank Robinson and Linda Tippins. She was a loving grandmother to Isabelle Chartrand (Shawn Blais), Nicholas Robinson, Donna Robinson, Benjamin Robinson (Kelsey Heyd), Alyson Tippins, Emily Tippins (Euan Clark), Frank Robinson-Gillis and adored all her great-grandchildren. She is survived by her cherished siblings, Irmgard, Hannelore and Roland.

Oma will be remembered for her kindness and nurturing spirit. She loved gardening, cooking, sewing, and reading. The family extends their thanks to the staff at the University of Ottawa Heart Institute for their care during Oma’s final days.

A celebration of life will be held at R.J Kennedy Community Centre at 1115 Dunning Rd, Cumberland on May 25, 2025, from 13:00 to 16:00. We welcome all who knew and cared for Oma to join us as we remember her life, share stories, and honor her.

Light food and refreshments will be provided. Cash bar only.
