Obituary for Renate Weissflog
Renate Frieda Herta Weissflog, 82, of Lyndeborough, NH, passed away at her home on Tuesday, November 7, 2017. She was born in Braunschweig, Germany, on August 27, 1935, the daughter of Alfred Ernest, Sr. and Herta (Paeper) Ernest. Renate immigrated from Germany to Canada in 1955, then, in 1964, to the United States, where she spent more than 40 years as a resident of Brookline, NH. She spent her last 10 years living with her son in Lyndeborough, NH. Her spirit and tenacity was driven by the perils and challenges of growing up as a young child in Germany during and after WWII in a city that was totally devastated. Renate worked at Rite Aid in Milford for a number of years. She also owned the Wilton Country Kitchen from 1990-2000. Prior to this she worked at Dataproducts in Milford. Renate also had many years of restaurant service at Parker’s Maple Barn in Mason, Old Railroad Station Snack Bar, and Yankee Doodler Restaurant in Brookline. She belonged to the Lyndeborough Gatherers Club, and had also served as their treasurer and was a longtime volunteer for MADD. Renate enjoyed spending her time gardening, bird watching, baking, canning jams, crocheting, reading, making red cabbage, traveling, and shopping. Her favorite places to travel were Iceland and Germany. She loved taking family trips to Maine and the Cape. Renate is survived by her daughter, Janet Bernhardt, and her husband, Jay, of Kellogg, ID sons, Mark Weissflog, and his wife, Diane, of Lyndeborough, NH, Andy Weiss and his wife, Lisa, of Nashua, NH, Martin Weissflog, and his wife, Laura, of Glenmoore, PA; her brother, Alfred Ernest, Jr., and his wife, Rita, of Germany; her sister, Barbel Thoss, and her husband, Fred, of Germany; her grandchildren, Tobias, Stephanie, Tanya, Tyler, Orion, Nichole, Donny, Brandon, David, John, and Eric; her great-grandchildren, Esme, Charlotte, Lily, Sophia, Hermione, Will, Olivia, Emily, Hunter, Jayce, and Amber.
