Irma died peacefully, with her children by her side, at Cassellholme, North Bay on Monday, January 6, 2025. Her mind was still sharp and clear at 98 years old.
Irma was the dearly loved mother of Eric Brent (Anida) of Oakville and Karin Ann Brent of Nipissing. She was the much-loved grandmother of Gregory Brent and the late Steven Brent, and great-grandmother of Xavier.
Irma was predeceased by her parents Susan (Ulrich) and Herb Toeppner and by her siblings Greta Brown, Fred Toeppner, Georgina Welsh, Wanda Toeppner, Alban “Bunny” Toeppner and Stanley “Sandy” Toeppner.
Formerly of Cambridge, Irma retired “back home” in Northern Ontario from a career as a PSW in long-term care. She was proud of her pioneer family roots in Nipissing Township. She enjoyed summering on Wolfe Lake and visiting with relatives and friends at the Toeppner homestead nearby. She was always happiest to be with family, especially her grandchildren whom she adored.
Cremation has taken place. A graveside service at St. John's Alsace Cemetery will be announced at a later date.
