Fleur Blanche

In memory of

Elske Delaney

1945 - 2024

C'est avec une profonde tristesse que nous annonçons le décès de notre épouse, mère et amie bien-aimée, Elske Delaney (née Kruse), le 1er novembre 2024, à l'âge de 79 ans. Elske était l'épouse chérie de Ronald Delaney et laisse dans le deuil ses trois enfants : Neal (Andrea), Karen et Scott (Samantha). Elle laisse également dans le deuil ses petits-enfants : Aaron et Nicholas, Aimee et Patrick, Christian, Hayden, Annabelle et Peyton. Elske laisse également ses sœurs, Roswitha Scuris-Brown et Kate Volkmann, et son frère, Herbert Kruse, l'a précédée dans la tombe.

Née à Bad Oldesloe, en Allemagne, de feu Erika Kruse (née Behnert) et Herbert Kruse, Elske est arrivée au Canada à l'âge de 10 ans et a vécu à Montréal avant de déménager à Ottawa avec sa famille en 1976. Peu après, Elske s'est lancée dans une carrière épanouissante de 40 ans chez Sears Canada, où elle a noué des amitiés pour la vie. Elle trouvait une grande joie à passer du temps avec sa famille et ses petits-enfants. Avec un cœur ouvert et un esprit généreux, Elske est devenue une figure maternelle pour tous ceux qui ont croisé son chemin, chérissant profondément ses proches.

Veuillez vous joindre à nous pour célébrer sa vie le mardi 12 novembre 2024 à 11 h à la paroisse Divine Infant, 6658 Bilberry Dr, Orléans, suivi de rafraîchissements dans la salle paroissiale.

La famille tient à remercier chaleureusement l'équipe de soins d'Elske à la Maison de l'Est et à Champlain Health pour leur compassion et leur dévouement.

Au lieu de fleurs, vous pouvez faire un don à Hospice Care Ottawa ou à la Société canadienne du cancer.

We will certainly miss Elska at our monthly Sears luncheons. She had a quiet motherly way about her and always remembered (when I had a brain fart) the date and place where our next luncheon would be. We’ll miss you and think of you often.
