Was taken from us too quickly after a brief illness in her 90th year. She was the devoted wife of Willibald Bartl (d. 1994), dearest mother of Dolores (Andreas) and loving Oma to Alexander (Sheryl) and Christopher (Lauren).

Johanna or “Hansi” was born in Neufelden, Austria into a close and loving family that later moved to Linz where she married the love of her life. Together, they immigrated to Toronto in 1953 where they made many new friends and a new life together as proud Canadians while continuing to support their Austrian culture.

She will be remembered for her wicked sense of humour and boisterous laugh and will forever be in the hearts of her sister, Christine Hammer in Linz, godchildren Brigitte, Elizabeth, Diana, Arthur, and many nieces and nephews in Canada and Austria.

Johanna cared deeply for all living things around her; her family, friends and neighbours, her garden full of colourful flowers and sweet fruits as well as many pets and wildlife that surrounded her home in East York and cottage at Cedar Point.

Special thanks to Dr. Jacqueline Ringnalda, Dr. David Harrison and Dr. Donald Kim for your kind and compassionate care.
