To All, I sadly would like to inform you all of the death of my grandmother Edith Millicent Kranz nee Strack, late of Toowoomba, widow of Reginald Arthur Kranz (1919-1990) . Edith passed away on the 12th of March at 8.30pm at Salem Nursing Home in Toowoomba. Edith was 87 years old. She suffered a stroke 2 days previous to her death. Her funeral will be held at TS Burstow Funeral Home in Ruthven Street, Toowoomba at 12.30 pm on Tuesday the 18th of March 2008. She will later be cremated at the Toowoomba/Drayton Lawn Cemetery in Toowoomba. Details will be published in the Toowoomba Cronicle later this week or on Monday. Edith was born on the 27th of July 1920 in Geham, Queensland Australia,to Auguste Joannie Strack (1901-1982). She later moved to Edward Street, Toowoomba with her mother and step father John Joseph (Jack) Fallon (1894-1969) until her marriage to Reginald Arthur Kranz in 1941. Edith and Reg had 5 children (1 deceased), 8 grandchildren, and at present 10 great grandchildren. Edith trained as an Assistant Nurse in Toowoomba from 1936 to 1939(as was her mother Gustie Fallon nee Strack) but devoted most of her life to her husband and family. In later years Reg and Edith lived at Gleeson Crest, Harlaxton,Toowoomba where they were active members of the community and for many years and were the returning officers for the electoral commission in Harlaxton. Edith was a devoted homemaker for her family and grandchildren, she spent a lot of time organizing the girls marching band her daughters were members of and she had a green thumb, attending to her greenhouse where she kept Ferns, Staghoorns, and various other tropical plants. Apart from being a very good cook she was an avid card player and enjoyed playing Canaster and Cribbage as well as Indoor Bowles. Edith also enjoyed doing Bark Art which she was very good at. After the sudden death of her husband Reg in 1990, Edith moved from Harlaxton to a retirement village until she suffered a stroke in 1995 which left her unable to care for herself and she moved into Salem Lutheran Nursing Home in Toowoomba. In 2005 Edith had a fall and broke her hip which left her almost bedridden for the remainder of her life, she also suffered from Dementure in the last few years of her life. Edith lived a full and long life and she will be lovingly remembered by her children grandchildren and great grandchildren.

Hi Michelle Its Chris Schmidt, here. We have emailed about KAPERNICK and SURAWSKI and BREITKREUZ connections. I am sorry to hear about the death of your grandmother. I may have even seen her at Salem- my grandmother Agnes Margaret KAPERNICK nee KOCH died there last November. Bye the way, my mum was speaking to Mavis SURAWSKI nee SCANLAN on the phone a few weeks before my grandmother died. We haven't had any contact since Jo died- my grandmother and I were at his funeral- but she didn't really appear to be interested in having contact or hearing how anyone was doing. My grandmother cared for her eldest son Edward SURAWSKI when he was young,until about 18 months I believe. Jo SURAWSKI was not his natural father but adopted him. My grandparents were formally going to adopt him but then Jo came on the scene and was wiilling to take care of him and marry Mavis, so my grandparents adoption didn't go ahead. Anyway, my thoughts are with you at this difficult time.
