Catherina Van Waardhuizen

Catherina Van Waardhuizen

1937 ~ 2015

With deep sorrow we announce the passing of Catherina (Trinie) Van Waardhuizen, beloved wife of Willem (Wim) van Waardhuizen, for 53 years. Trinie passed away in the presence of her husband, and surrounded by some of her close friends, after a very brief illness, at the age of 78 years.

Besides her loving husband, Trinie leaves to mourn some immediate family in the Netherlands, some extended family in the area, and many friends and acquaintances.

Trinie was born on March 24, 1937 in Lisse, the Netherlands, where she met and married Wim. They immigrated to Canada in 1976, and resided in Coaldale for many years, until Wim’s health necessitated a move to Lethbridge, and eventually to Bethesda Care Home in Picture Butte. For many years they served in the Netherlands Reformed Congregation in Lethbridge as custodians with love and faithfulness.

We would like to thank all those who befriended and helped them in any way during those years, as well as the staff and residents of Bethesda for the love and care shown by them.

Condolences will be held on Tuesday, July 7, 2015 at 7:00 pm – 8:00 pm, at the NETHERLANDS REFORMED CONGREGATION, Highway 3 & Howe Road, Lethbridge, Alberta.

A Funeral Service will be held at 10:00 am on Wednesday, July 8, 2015 at the NETHERLANDS REFORMED CONGRGATION, Highway 3 & Howe Road, Lethbridge, Alberta, with Rev. A. A. Brugge, officiating. Interment will follow in the Mountain View Cemetery.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Bethesda Care Home, Box 1096, Picture Butte, Alberta, T0L 1V0.
