After a courageous battle with ovarian cancer, it is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our loving wife, mother, grandmother, sister and friend Giselle ("gigi") Hammermeister, Giselle left an indelible mark on everyone she met. Her grace, beauty, charm and elegance were overshadowed by her modesty and genuine concern for others and those less fortunate.
Born in Point Fortin, Trinidad Giselle loved the simple things in life, her family and her friends. At the age of 22, she moved to Edmonton, Alberta and shortly thereafter met her husband and they celebrated their 15th wedding anniversary in June of this year.
Giselle is survived by her husband James, daughter Jayda, stepsons Brandon (Stephanie), Sean (Brittany) and Jordan, granddaughter Hailey, sister Tracey, brother Richard (Erin), sister Karen (Clayton), niece Mia and nephew Adam.
A funeral mass will be held at the Church of the Nativity, 6309 El Apajo Road, Rancho Santa Fe, California on Thursday, December 15, 2011 at 11:00 am. It was Giselle's wish that in lieu of flowers a donation may be made to the Kids Cancer Care Foundation of Alberta (www.kidscancercare.ab.ca).
Giselle loved to celebrate Christmas with family and to support those less fortunate. For those attending the service we would ask that you bring a wrapped Christmas gift (note the age and gender) and place it under the Giving Tree. Many thanks to her friends and caregivers that supported and cared for her this past year.
