Barbara passed away peacefully on Saturday, February 20, 2021 at age 93. She went to be with her Creator and those who have gone before her. We are grateful for our time together and have been blessed with having her in our lives. She will be missed.
As a single young woman, Barbara emigrated by boat from the Netherlands to Canada, and arriving by train in Alberta and immediately said, “This is my country.” Barbara is survived by four children: Roger (Susan), James, Tanda and Larissa, and eight grandchildren: Joshua, Elliot, Elizabeth, Miriam, Sarah, Kelsie, Annika and Kianna. In 2008 she was predeceased by her husband of forty-nine years, Gus.
Due to COVID restrictions, a private service will be held.
In lieu of flowers, a memorial donation may be made to Mission Aviation Fellowship of Canada serving isolated communities around the world (www.mafc.org).
