GRUNDHOLM, Ebba Marie (nee Knudsen). Feb 9, 1919 - Aug 11, 2013. Ebba passed after a very brief stay at Abbotsford Hospital. Born in Denmark, married in 1947, she immigrated to Edmonton, Alberta in 1956 and moved to Pender Island in 1980. During the last 20+ years she lived in Pioneer Park in Aldergrove. Ebba was a wife for 50 years, a mother to Rene, Anette and grandmother to Heidi, Jesse and Jacob. She was a second mother to some, a good friend to many and an active volunteer.
Her curiosity, enthusiasm and vitality, even at 94 were remarkable. Ebba was a prodigious reader, furious knitter and legendary cook. We will all miss Mom's famous Danish Christmas smorgasbord.
Ebba remained engaged with the world; bright, active and determined throughout her long life. She was predeceased by Olfert Grundholm and her 4 siblings in Denmark. She will be sadly missed by her children, grandchildren and all those who were touched by her spirit and generosity.
There will be a Memorial in Pioneer Park in October.
