With deep sadness we announce the passing of Magdalene Pudlas (Schmeling) on her 95th birthday.

Born in Warstein, Germany she made the journey to Canada in 1956 to pursue her nursing career. She met her loving husband Bernhard in Vancouver and

the two eventually settled in Prince George. Magda came to know the Lord and enjoyed being a long-time member of the Evangelical Free Church where she helped with catering and kid’s clubs.

Mom was a great baker and enjoyed “noch ein bisschen Kaffee und Kuchen” with her friends over the years. She also took great pleasure in reading, painting and line dancing in her later years.

She is survived by her three loving children Phil (Arlene), Ruth (Paul) and Martin (Myrna). Her grandchildren Carly (Travis), Craig (Julie and newly born great grandson Bo), Christie (Tim), Jeff (Katie) and Hannah (Tyler).

A heartfelt thank you to good friends who assisted in so many ways and the people at the Fort George Manor where she lived independently up to her final days.

No service by Magdalene’s request.

In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to Ness Lake Bible Camp.
