Gerda MOLSON Obituary
With courage and determination through her journey with cancer, Gerda died peacefully at the Greater Niagara General Hospital on August 26, 2022. Devoted wife of the late Hugh (2007). Cherished mother of Elizabeth and the late Harold (2010). Loving grandmother of her very special granddaughter Lindsay. Gerda served as the Chief Librarian of the Niagara-on-the-Lake Library for 35 years and as a President of the Ontario Library Association. It was during her tenure as Chief Librarian that she and her Library Board made the courageous and controversial decision to locate the library from the Court House in the old town to its current home. This is Gerda's legacy to the town of Niagara-on-the-Lake. Gerda was respected and loved by many. She will be greatly missed by her family and many friends who will remember her for her generosity and kindness of spirit. Thank you to all her friends for their love and kindness during her illness. A special thanks to Allison Kane for her unwavering support and encouragement.
Arrangements entrusted to Morgan Funeral Home. Cremation has taken place and a private celebration of life will be held by the family at a later date. Flowers gratefully declined. If you wish, please consider a memorial donation to the Walker Family Cancer Centre, St. Catharines. Memories, photos, and condolences may be shared at www.morganfuneral.com
