Gilda was born in Mission, BC and moved to Cabri, Saskatchewan at a young age. Gilda graduated high school in Swift Current, she earned her B.Sc and B.Ed in Regina, and later taught in Grenfell, Saskatchewan, for seven years. She moved west to Vanderhoof, BC, where she taught math at the local high school. There she met Gerd Erasmus and together they had four children. Gilda continued to teach math through various outlets. She followed her passion for music, both teaching and performing, in local music festivals, theater productions, with the Eclectic Circus Singers, and many other community events.
Gilda passed away peacefully on the evening of April 12th, 2015 with her family by her side. She is survived by her husband Gerd, children Erica, Nils, Sonya, and Hans, brother Kelvin, sister Elaine, and other relatives. We will miss her.
