Johanna Wagner (‘Hanna') June 10 2018, Toronto. Hanna died as she wished, at home on a sunny morning with her family around her, busy with life and engaged with the work and people she loved. Role model and inspiration, Hanna was unstinting in her love, ever-helpful and forward-looking.
She was a woman of so many skills and accomplishments, from travels in Africa and Europe and North America to her sports and hobbies and talents. A self-starter, immensely capable can-do person, lifelong learner - but to us Hanna was firstly the loveliest mother, wife and friend.
She loved her colleagues at Environics Analytics.
Hanna leaves her children Julia and Michael, and her husband John; her mother Elfriede and father Anton (d.2013),sisters Barbara (Paul), Nancy (late Lorne Cave, Charles) and brother Anthony (Janet). Hanna loved her Irish family and relished their company - Elizabeth, Marie and Michael and their families.
Hanna lived many years with cancer under the exceptional and devoted care of doctors and nurses in Newmarket and Toronto. She continued her journey with that beautiful temperament and personality that never dimmed but shone through always. Minutes before Hanna left us, she was busy organizing flowers on our patio. How lucky we were.
John and the family can be contacted through bostun@gmail.com.
