Ursula was born December 11, 1921 in Gotha, Germany, and became a nurse. Following World War II, she emigrated to Canada to start a new chapter in her life, where she met John. They married in 1954 and had 4 children. Together with her husband, they opened John’s Delicatessen in Welland. Ursula was a strong-willed cancer survivor who loved her family and friends, her faith and adventurous travels. Ursula and family enjoyed many years in Long Beach, Ontario, and Fort Myers, Florida. She was a shining example to “never give up.”
