It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our dear mother and grandmother on July 31, 2008.

Catharina is survived by two daughters: Karon (Don), and Marion (Leonard); her grandsons: Stanley and Danny, and her extended family. Also left to mourn her passing are her sisters: Johanna (Marinus), Lena (David); in-laws and many nieces and nephews in the Netherlands.

Catharina was born December 2, 1926 in Rilland Bath, the Netherlands. In 1952 she immigrated to Canada and settled in Chilliwack with her husband Willem (Bill). Her two daughters were born in Chilliwack where her family lived and worked for many years.

A special thanks to her dear friend Mrs. Kanis, Mrs. Jake Kooyman, and Mrs. R. denEngelsman. Thank you to all the staff at Ebenezer Home for making her stay there enjoyable and comfortable in the last four years of her life. Flowers will be greatfully accepted as well as donations to Ebenezer home in her memory.
