A 64-year-old woman originally from Ħamrun has tragically lost her life following a road traffic accident in Germany.
Doreen Böhnert died on December 29, 2025, after being involved in a fatal car crash. Her Pomeranian dog, Kimba, who was travelling with her at the time, also died in the accident.
Böhnert had been residing in Bonn for several decades, having moved to Germany when she was young. Despite building her life abroad, she maintained strong ties with Malta and regularly returned for extended stays, often spending several months at her residence in St Paul’s Bay.
“She was fun, full of energy and had a lovely character,” her cousin Claudette Vella said, remembering her as a warm and vibrant person.
The tragedy came shortly after the death of Böhnert’s mother, who had passed away just weeks earlier, making the loss particularly painful for her family.
She was also fondly remembered by Fr George Micallef, who paid tribute to her kindness and generosity, describing her as someone who showed deep care and affection to those around her.
Numerous heartfelt messages of condolence have since been shared, with many expressing shock at the sudden loss and highlighting the lasting impact Doreen had on the lives of those who knew her.
