Bep leaves behind her 6 children: Annelise (George), Ray (Sandra), Ingrid (Bernie), Mike (Melissa), Paul (Shelby), Mark (Cyndi). Oma will be greatly missed by grandchildren Paul, Stephen (Melissa), Andrew (Jeanine), Sean, Mark (Brittany), Alec, Brooke, Allyson, Jennifer (Martin), and great grandchildren Sophia, Ashley, Jeremy, Kara, James, and Ivan.
After emigrating from The Netherlands in 1953, Bep began her life in Canada with her beloved husband Hank, eventually settling in Aurora in 1962. She loved spending time with her family and taking walks with friends while enjoying the beauty of nature trails. In addition to daily walks, Bep loved music, reading, and spending time in the garden. Her evenings were occupied talking to her children on the phone and doing word search puzzles. She also enjoyed the many activities at the Aurora Senior Center and The Meadows of Aurora.
A private family ceremony will be held to celebrate her full life.
