Verena Maria Matheson was born on December 5
Her early years were marked by hardship—the poverty and hunger that followed the war
and the unspoken sorrow of never knowing her father
and she remained attached to things German
she considered Canada “the best country in the world.”
She became a high school English teacher—a vocation that reflected her early love of reading
and love of teaching left a lasting mark on many young lives
there was a decent chance some former student would happily approach: “Mrs
and worked with ESL students and children with dyslexia
Verena was forced to stop teaching in her mid-forties after she was diagnosed with Menière’s disease
and her life was far more truly defined by joy
Her great and sustaining love was her husband David
with whom she shared nearly 57 years of marriage
She often said how lucky she was to have found him
If more than an hour elapsed outside her company
she put David through medical school—an act of support and belief that became one of the family’s founding stories
By walking into a branch and making her case
the first ever Bank of Montreal mortgage given to a woman in Calgary
She found particular joy in the companionship of her daughters-in-law
Verena loved to walk in Pacific Spirit Park whose trees and silence gave her peace
She was a faithful member of the Our Lady of Perpetual Help parish
where she worshipped and volunteered for many years
She also volunteered for Battered Women’s Support Services
even the cruelty of Alzheimer’s at the end—with a kind of dignified reserve that never drew attention to itself
never hardened her warmth or her care for others
what others felt before they could speak it
and will be deeply missed by her six grandchildren: Jane
colourful way she had inherited from her mother
A celebration of life will be held at a later date
donations may be made in Verena’s memory to SOS Children's Villages Canada
She is mourned with deep love and gratitude
