Tribute

With great sorrow, we announce the passing of Pauline Weiskopf. Pauline died on March
25th, 2023 at the Chemainus Health Care Center, Chemainus, BC at the age of 96.

Pauline was one of 10 siblings born into the family of Franz and Paula Eisner in Mureck,
Austria. She emigrated to Prince George, BC in 1951, to marry her fiance Johann (John)
Weiskopf. They resided in Prince George for more than 70 years.

She studied office administration in Austria and was employed by the Royal Bank of
Canada for most of her working career.

Pauline and John enjoyed a healthy and active life, hunting, fishing, and water/snow
skiing. They spent many late nights/early mornings sharing a glass of wine, conversation
and laughter with friends. She called returning home in the early morning hours, ‘going home
with the birdies’. She enjoyed her garden and spending time with her beloved dogs. Pauline was a kind, thoughtful, caring and unimaginably generous person.

Pauline is predeceased by John, her husband of 67 years, and seven of her siblings.

She is survived by her brother Albert Eisner (Ingrid) of Sweden, her sister Traude Eisner-
Luethi of Switzerland as well as many other European relatives.

Though Pauline lived many miles from her family she was in frequent phone contact with
her siblings and in particular with her brother Albert. She took comfort in their conversations as
they shared many things about each other’s lives and reminisced over family memories.
She is especially missed by her niece Krista Eisner of North Cowichan, BC who helped
care for her aunt in her final years and with whom she shared a special relationship.

No memorial service is planned.

Pauline will be laid to rest at Mountain View Cemetery in Duncan, BC
