Winnie Oljans (nee Wietske Stienstra) peacefully passed away on April 25, 2024, at the remarkable age of 98. Winnie was born in 1926, in the town of Leeuwarden, the Netherlands.
Married to the love of her life, Albert Hendrik in 1950, they embarked on a momentous adventure, emigrating to Canada in 1951, eventually settling in Hamilton. A loving mother to Evelyn, (Will) and William, (Mylene), she doted on her grandchildren Krystle, Andrew, Cameron, Deidre and Nicolette. Winnie is also great-grandmother to Ava, Charlotte, Ezra, Tryggve, Eden and Niyah. Winnie was predeceased by her loving husband Albert, in 1997. A life so magnificently lived, will be beautifully honoured and always remembered. For those who wish, memorial donation may be made to the Dr. Bob Kemp Hospice.
