Shoniker, Margaret Anne

Surrounded by her loving family, Margaret Anne Shoniker quietly passed away at home on November 10 th, 2020, two days before her eighty-sixth birthday, following a prolonged illness. Anne was born in 1934 in Toronto to Martin Dolan and Elizabeth Lavis. Her early years were spent in Ottawa, where she attended school at Notre Dame de Sacre Coeur of the Grey Nuns of the Cross. Upon her return to Toronto in 1950, she finished school at St. Joseph's Convent High School. She then trained at St. Michael's Hospital to become a nurse, followed by post-graduate training there in obstetrics in 1956, leading to an early career in that department of the hospital.

Anne married Dr. Thomas J. Shoniker in 1959, and the couple moved to Kitchener in late 1962, where they have resided since. In 2019, they celebrated their sixtieth wedding anniversary with a memorable and stirring family banquet and evening. Anne's greatest passion in life was her family, manifested as her dedicated role of Wife, Mom, Nana and mother-in-law. Her role as homemaker included her particular talents of sewing and cooking. A twenty-five-year period of serving as a monthly volunteer at the K-W Hospital Cancer Clinic alongside her dear friend Kay Donovan was a fond memory. In 2016, when eighty-two years old, Anne completed a ten-year adventure of hiking over 800km of the Bruce Trail with close friends Lorraine McFadden and Joan Walser.

Anne is survived by her husband Tom, and her three children \endash Marie (Michael McCallum and granddaughter Laura), Michael (Shelley and grandsons James and Mathew) and Gregory (Tricia and grandchildren Andrew and Kaitlyn), as well as sisters-in-law MaryAnn Shoniker and Lillian Dolan.

________________________________________

John Kaiser Wintermeyer came from Straubing, Bavaria Germany in 1869 with his parents and siblings: Anna 1863, Mary 1864, Rosina 1869 and Jacob 1874. John Wintermeyer and his younger brother Jacob Wintermeyer started their own business in Berlin Ontario prior to World War 1. The business was a glue factory. The brothers became involved in a dispute and John bought Jacob out of the business. During WWI there was a great need for glycerine, a by-product of glue, as a component of explosives. The family business did very well. John Wintermeyer asked his son Alfred Carl (a loan's officer at the Bank of Montreal) to join him in the business. Subsequently a businessman from Windsor Ontario asked John and son Alfred Carl to become 50/50 partners in Essex Meat Packers, which they did. Shortly thereafter John Wintermeyer was injured severely at work when a barrel fell on his legs and crushed them, leaving him paralysed. Both family businesses were thus sold and the accumulated capital from the sales was used to invest in the stock market. Alfred Carl invested in gold in 1930 after exploring investment opportunities in Kirkland Lake Ontario. He purchased shared in the Wright/Hargreaves Mines and the Hollinger-Lakshore Mines. His fortune was further made
