October 9, 1941 - January 8, 2023

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Wilhelmina (Willy) on January 8th, peacefully at home with loving family by her side.

Beloved wife of Paul for 60 years. Cherished mother of Rhonda and Randy. Devoted Oma to Matthew and Mina. Dear sister to Ria (John) and Ben (Ruth), and sister-in-law to Joanna (Doug) and Patricia (predeceased Casey).

A former fitness instructor for the YWCA, Willy loved baking, reading, crafting and spending time with her family. She led a life well lived and treasured her husband, Paul, who was completely devoted to her right to the end and never left her side.
Willy’s most cherished memories were the many trips she enjoyed with Paul throughout their many years of marriage, and the vacations spent with family.

Willy inspired her family with her strength, loving heart, and supportive nature. The love and happiness she brought to their lives is immeasurable.

Her family and friends will greatly miss her joyful and caring nature, but will always be grateful for the light and love she brought to all of us. She will live in our hearts forever.

A celebration of life will be held at a later date.

Memorial donations can be made to the ALS Society of Canada.
