Elfriede Maria Grohal (nee Baier) Obituary
September 12, 1927 – March 13, 2024
Elfriede passed away peacefully in her 97th year surrounded by her family. Predeceased by her beloved husband of 62 years, Wilhelm Grohal (Willi) in 2021. Survived by her two children Heidi (Stephen Morrison) and Andrew (Anne Pridmore), and her grandchildren Chris (Katrina), Patrick, Julie, and Samantha.
Elfriede’s greatest love was her husband Willi and the family they raised together. Together they worked tirelessly to grow a successful business while she simultaneously managed to be a wonderful Mum and Oma. Elfriede was an accomplished seamstress and was well known for her love of fashion. She was always impeccably groomed and dressed and will be remembered as a charming and elegant woman.
The family will always remember her love of shopping, “Kaffe und kuchen” and her ability to whip up huge batches of german pancakes for a table full of hungry kids and grandkids. Mum, we have so many great memories of you that will be with us forever in our hearts and in our minds. We hope you are dancing The Tennessee Waltz with Dad (Opa). Rest and be in peace now Mum.
