MORALES, Waltraud (nee Scholz) - Born August 30, 1929 in Temuco, Chile, died September 17, 2021 in Toronto, Canada.
To give sense of our mom's ancestry: her grandfather, German immigrant to Chile, did not believe in Christmas. So his wife, and his children born in a new country, celebrated after he went to bed. Until one Christmas night the man stayed at table, and one young son, her father, blurted out, 'Here we sit and have nothing.' And her grandfather stood up, and went silently off to bed.

ELO, Eva - (July 9, 1926 - September 17, 2021) -
On July 9, 1926, our mother was born in Whitemouth, Manitoba, 100 kilometres east of Winnipeg. She was the youngest of the six children born to Nellie (or Nettie) and Nicholas Rusnick. Her siblings were Mary, Doris, Anne, Bill and Olga.
In the 1920s, Whitemouth was a pretty cold and remote place. Soon after our mom was born, our grandmother figured that out and moved to a house on Franklin Street in Toronto. In the 1930s, our grandfather was killed in a rare car accident and mom left school before finishing grade 9 to help support the family. She worked in factories, sometimes, as she later learned, making nefarious products, but she helped out as best she could.
