It is with profound sadness that the family of Juliane Schick (nee Berger) announces her peaceful passing with her husband and son by her side on Friday, September 5, 2025, at the age of 89 years after a short battle with heart failure.

Juliane was born on September 22, 1935, in New Slankamen in the former Yugoslavia. Her family was displaced as a result of WW2, and she settled in Ostermiething, Austria, where she met and married the love of her life Josef Schick. They were married for 73 years and were inseparable. They had 2 children, Adelheid and Joseph Gustav. In 1965 the family emigrated to Canada, settling in Toronto where Juliane already had family. Her mother Maria Berger, brothers Adam and John, and sister Barbara had emigrated some years earlier. After many years of hard work, Juliane and Josef were able to enjoy their retirement by having a second condo just outside of Calgary. There they were close to their daughter who had moved to Calgary and married Wayne Reid many years earlier, as well as the mountains that they loved. They spent many summers hiking and climbing those mountains. Back in Ontario, when Juliane wasn’t tending to her award-winning garden, they spent many hours hiking on the Pickering / Ajax waterfront or the trails of the Durham Forest…these were her happy places. Despite her struggles, she remained a trooper to the end. Her strength and resilience are an inspiration.

She will be lovingly remembered by her husband Josef Schick, daughter Adelheid (Adele) Reid, son Joseph G. Schick (Marcia Masino), grandchildren Jennifer D. Harding (Robert Stoski), Brent J. Reid (Jaclyn), great grandchildren Seeana R. Reid, Shelby R. Reid and Wesley L. Harding, sister Barbara Schoblocher (Adam), brother Adam Berger, nieces Kelly, Amy, Helen, Joan, Debbie and Lynn, nephews John and Michael, along with close family friends Martin Mergl of Ranshofen, Austria and Paula Grohmann of Freilassing, Germany.

Juliane was predeceased by her father Adam Berger, mother Maria Berger (nee Bartenz), son-in-law Wayne T. Reid, Sister-in-law Julie Berger (nee O’Sullivan) and brother John Berger.

It is never the right time
It is never the right day
It is never all said
It is always too early
But there are always the memories, thoughts, feelings,
wonderful times and moments that remain unforgettable
