DEGEN, Ulrike Margarete Maria "Ulie" March 3, 1956 - Feb. 12, 2014 To many long-time friends, Ulie has been a source of strength and inspiration, had an open heart and was always there for everyone who needed support. We regret to announce that Ulie passed away in Iquitos, Peru, with a good friend at her side. Ulie lived a full life - she loved skiing, snowboarding, hiking, biking, sailing, walking the dogs and pretty much all activities. She was passionate, exploring all aspects of life and spent the last several years volunteering at hospice house where she had many memorable experiences and left a lasting impression. Ulie was an adventurous spirit, independent, confident and courageous, a talented musician, enjoying playing piano, singing and dancing. She was very creative - enjoying poetry, painting, cooking, gardening. Ulie shared her passions and inspired her friends. She touched many people's lives in a positive way through her caring and generous ways. She lived many places in her life, but called Kelowna home. We will all miss her dearly. Ulie was predeceased by the love of her life, Grant Louden and her father Friedrich (Fritz) Degen. She is survived by her mother Hilde Degen, her brother Jurgen Degen with Carola and nieces Silke and Friederike, her sister Ingrid Neuweiler with Lothar and nieces Pamela, grand nieces and grand nephews Bea, Vicky, Moritz, Leonie and Aaron, her aunt Margarete Walter, Irma and Helmut Mueller, Salem, Germany, aunt Bertel Lederer with Bernd and Nina.
