Jintje "Jenny" Catharina Spiegelberg

Passed away at home in St. Catharines, Ontario, on Saturday, October 10th at the age of 79.

Born October 30th, 1946, in Ruinerwold, Drenthe in the Netherlands. The youngest of five children and the only girl, Jenny grew up loved and protected by her big brothers. She and her family moved to the Niagara Region when she was 5 years old. Farm life led Jenny to discover her love of plants at a young age. That passion continued with her work in greenhouses and the ever-present bouquets brightening her home.

Jenny leaves behind two stepsons, Kevin (Angela) and Rick (Christine), and step grandchildren (Casey, Jase, Corrianna, Austin, Willem and Annastasia) along with her beloved cat, Giddy (Gideon). Survived by her brother Albert (Pauline) and sisters-in-law Agnes, Anna, and Anne (Keith’s sister). Predeceased by her beloved husband Keith, and brothers Bill (Agnes), George (Anna), and Arnold (Tina). Remembered dearly by her many nieces and nephews. From Bill’s family, Tricia (Bill), Fred (Arlene), Sharon (John), and David (Francine). From George’s family, Andrew (Karen), Michael (Kim), and Larry (Joanne). From Arnold’s family, Alan (Judy), Carol (Paul), Rose (Steve), and Cathy (Dave). From Albert’s family, Dave (Sylvie), Allison (Alex), Jen, and Krista. She will be greatly missed by many more friends, neighbours, and extended family.

Jenny’s family would like to extend their heartfelt thanks to Margaret Joyce and her team for their support over the last few years. As well as Helmie and Margaret Verver who continued their support and care throughout the years after Keith’s passing.

Memorial service arrangements will be announced once confirmed in late November through Hetherington and Deans in Niagara Falls.
