It is with immense sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved mother and grandmother (Oma), age 80, on October 11th, 2018. She died peacefully surrounded by her loving family. She was born in the city of Blerick, in the Netherlands and immigrated to Canada with her family in the early 1950’s, settling in Nova Scotia. She was a devoted and fun-loving mother and grandmother who always gave her time and heart to others. She is survived by her children, Connie, Maria Moir (Keith), Christina Baker, George, and Andrew, her grandchildren Justin, Lauren, Alexandra and Haley, and her brothers Wim (Carol), Gerry(Linda), and sisters Christine Macdonald, Leonie Sproule, Annie Van Oirschot (Joe), Elsie Foote, and Nellie Brouns. She was predeceased by her husband Andreas, and by her brothers Leo and Tommy, sisters Marie Vromans, Bertha Mann, Wilhelmina Van Deyl, Antoinette and Ineke Consten.
Mom was not one to complain about the pain she endured and fought her illness with great courage, more concerned for her family than for herself. Her family would like to thank all of those involved with her care and comfort, especially the nurses, doctors, and staff in the VG Palliative Care Unit 7A, the Cancer Care Centre, and the nurses of the VON. Visitation and the memorial service will take place on October 19th, 2018 at JA Snow’s Funeral Home, 339 Lacewood Drive, Halifax, N.S. With visitation being held from 1-2 p.m. and the memorial service at 2 p.m. A reception at Snow’s will follow the service. Private burial to take place at a later date. In lieu of flowers donations in memory can be made at hospicehalifax.ca or to the Canadian Cancer Society.
