Mom loved her family, all her nieces and nephews. She enjoyed working in her gardens at the family home. Mom cherished her many friends she had while she lived at Trillium Village. Those friendships meant the world to her. Everyone that came in contact with mom knew of her great sense of humor and her love for her Lord and Saviour.

We the family would like to take this time to say a special thank you to the PSW’s at Manor Village for their care for mom and support to our family.

A Visitation will take place at the EAST CHRISTIAN REFORMED CHURCH on Thursday, December 28, 2023 from 11:00am until time of funeral service at 1:00pm. A private family and extended family interment will take place at Strathroy cemetery.

Mom and dad always had a soft spot for those who lived in third world countries, who do not have much of a chance. As an expression of sympathy and in lieu of flowers, donations may be made to World Renew. Online condolences and donations may be made at www.strathroyfuneralhome.com
