In loving memory of
Walter Herbold
January 13, 1935 – August 9, 2025

Walter Herbold of Coronado, AB, passed away surrounded by family on August 9, 2025 at the age of 90 years. He was born on January 13, 1935 in Kassel, Germany, to Wilhemina (née Göbel) and Heinrich Herbold. He was the second youngest of six children. He married Renate (née Scherze) on August 29, 1959, and the two immigrated to Canada the following year to begin their married life.

Walter was an avid painter and gardener, and was always ready to tell a story about the old country to anyone who would listen. We will always remember sitting around the fire listening to one of his stories while he threw his arms in the air and let out his catchphrase “And I had to laugh!”

Walter is survived by his wife Renate, his children Sandi (Les), Silvia, and Mike (Gloria), his close family friend Butch, and his grandchildren Micaila (Ryan) and Jolene (Craig).

The family of Walter would like to express their gratitude for the kindness and attentiveness of the homecare team that tended to him during his final days.
