Elke Henschel

My name is Chris Henschel. My brother, father and our families are fundraising for my beloved mother, Elke Henschel who passed away on December 17, 2023. My mom inspired all with her remarkable kindness, warmth and gentleness. Rather than being defeated by adversity, Elke always found sunshine and joy: with her family, walking in nature, in Kaffee und Kuchen on her deck. Pushing through every affliction so that she could continue blessing all of us with her love, she finally succumbed when the battle was unwinnable.

Other than her family, Elke's favourite thing in the world was walking the Bruce Trail along the Niagara Escarpment at the Rock Chapel Nature Sanctuary near Dundas, Ontario.

We are fundraising to purchase a memorial bench so that others walking the trail will have a place to rest and enjoy the area's beauty and know how much it meant to our mother.

If we fund-raise more than we need for the memorial bench, we will donate the remainder to the Bruce Trail Conservancy
