Irmgard Mathilde (nee Preisler);
Surrounded by her family on Saturday July 26, 2014 in her 88th year, Irmgard went home to be with the Lord. In her 65th year of marriage, she is the dearly loved wife of Georg Nessel, and cherished mother of Ingo Nessel (Rosemary), Ingrid Douglas (Don), and Erick Nessel (Naomi). She leaves precious memories with her grandchildren; Ronni, Kirstin, Kristian, Annette, Alex and Toby. She will be dearly missed by many nieces and nephews in Germany and North America, and by all of those whose lives she touched.
Born in Hohenstein, Posen, she immigrated to Canada in 1948 and married Georg in 1949. They lived in Montreal until 1975 when they moved to Kitchener where she spent the rest of her life. Very active in the church, Irmgard had strong Christian convictions and spread her joy of living through singing and poetry. Her family extends many heartfelt thanks to all of the staff at Hilltop Manor in Cambridge for their love and support during Irmgard's stay.
The Nessel Family will receive friends at the Westmount Funeral Chapel on Thursday, July 31st from 2-4 and 7-9 p.m.
Funeral Service will be in the funeral home chapel on Friday at 11:00 a.m. Interment will be in Glen Morris Cemetery.
As expressions of sympathy donations to the Red Cross or the Christian Fellowship Church, Missions Fund would be greatly appreciated.

Heather and I lived in the apartment above the Nessel's and have fond memories of our good landlords. The obituary photo shows her sweet spirit. We remember her cleanliness, work ethic, friendly nature, and kind actions (she even washed our dishes from time to time!:).

Our deepest sympathies to all of you all My heart smiles as I think of Tante Irmgard singing, "You are my Sunshine" at celebrations over the years. Tante Irmgard was so happy with Onkel Georg and so proud of her children and grandchildren. Dina and Leopoldine Wancar, Etobicoke, Ontario

Irmgard always talked about her children and grandchildren for they brought her much pride and joy. I thank the Lord for healing her back injury a few years ago that had kept her couch-ridden for weeks, and that she was then able to move in to Hilltop with her husband Georg, fondly "Papa", and they could be together truly until death did them part. Irmgard's kind heart was always thinking of others. She would always ask, "Tell me, how is your father?" also remembering my mom. Safe now in the arms of Jesus, we will all remember dear Irmgard with much fondness and we will miss her so. Our condolences to all her family.

Unsere liebe Irmgard darf erlöst bei Jesus sein, den sie geliebt und dem sie gedient hat. To all the family my deepest sympathy. May the blessing of our Heavenly Father comfort your hearts. Psalm 23:4
