It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our mother Hedwig Endl (nee Reidl) on October 5, 2025 at the age of 94 in Toronto, Ontario.
Predeceased by the love of her life Johann (Hans) Anton Endl, mother Maria Drescher, stepfather Johann Drescher and sister Victoria Reidl. Survived by 3 children Werner (Chris), Maryline (Douglas) and Peter. Lovingly remembered by her 6 grandchildren Andrew (Cindy), Matthew (Angelica), Kevin (Danielle), Michael (Sophie), Marc (Krista) and Oscar; her 8 great-grandchildren McKenna, Lyla, Lauren, Brielle, Alexander, Nolan, Giuliana, and Myles; and her extended family in Austria and Hungary.
Hedwig and her beloved husband Hans shared a beautiful life, immigrating to Toronto Canada from Weiner Neustadt, Austria in 1954. They enjoyed travelling, Euchre, Jolie card games, and Mensch Argere Dich Nicht game nights. Hedwig was an outstanding cook and baker. She loved music, gardening, needlepointing and putting together jigsaw puzzles. Most importantly, Hedwig was a proud “hausfrau” raising her family with love and devotion.
The family would like to extend their thanks and gratitude to the staff at Chartwell Grenadier for their compassionate care and kindness.
