I am deeply saddened to inform you that Elisabeth (Els) passed away Tuesday, September 10th, 2019 a.m. As many of you know, she was diagnosed with recurrent oral cancer last February. Since that time, she faced her inevitable end with the same strength, selflessness and courage that were characteristic of how she lived her life. While I and my family deeply mourn her loss, we take comfort in knowing that she is no longer suffering and finally at peace. Els is survived by her husband Frits III, her children Frits IV (Dianne), Peter (Stacey), Paula (Rick) and Mariela (Michael), her 8 grandchildren and their partners, her brothers Hans (Elly) and Guus and their families and the Jansen family in The Netherlands. She will also be fondly remembered by her friends near and far. Visitation will be held at the OSHAWA FUNERAL HOME, 847 King Street West (905-721-1234) on Friday, September 13th from 2:00-4:00 PM and 6:00-8:00 PM. Funeral Mass will be held at ST. JOHN THE EVANGELIST CHURCH, 903 Giffard Street, Whitby on Saturday, September 14th at 11:00 AM. In lieu of flowers, Els and her family request donations be made to the Canadian Cancer Society www.cancer.ca.
