Obituary: von SCHULMANN - Lita (Margret) Our mother Lita (Margret) von Schulmann, nee Baroness Margarita Ester von Dellingshausen was born March 23rd, 1929 in Tallinn, Estonia, she died Sunday, January 11th at the Delta Hospital. A few weeks ago she was still active and hosting all the family at her home in Tsawwassen for dinner. Her diagnosis and death from cancer came quickly. Lita spent her life making sure everyone knew that she could do anything she set her mind to. As a 23-year-old woman she left Germany and arrived in Canada not only without money, but owing for the trip across the Atlantic. She arrived with nothing more than her strong will to succeed. In 1953 Lita met Axel. Lita was looking for a strong and intelligent man and found that in Axel. They married in April of 1954 and were happily married for the next 49 years until Axel died in 2003. Lita and Axel had three kids, Beatrice, Bernard and Nik and nine grandchildren that she loved. Lita was an inspiration and amazing support for her family. Lita loved travel, adventures, bridge, intelligent conversation and reading. In 2008 Lita was around to see the birth of her last grandchild and the marriage of her oldest grandchild. We will all miss her but we will have the memories of this extraordinary and determined strong woman. In lieu of flowers we request donations to the BC SPCA or the Canadian Cancer Society. A Celebration of Life will be held on Friday, January 16th at 3:00pm at the South Delta Rec. Centre, 1720 - 56th Street in Tsawwassen.
