Gerda’s dedication, warmth, and compassion touched the lives of many. Known for her elegance and impeccable style, she was always dressed in a skirt with coordinating jewelleries and nail polish. She stood by Ton’s side through every challenge, caring for their sons all while managing their transport company in the Netherlands before coming to Canada in 1980. Gerda’s dedication, and tireless efforts were instrumental in building the foundations of our company, She was the co-founder of Tilemaster & Holten Impex. Her voice over the PA system, her witty sense of humour and her attention to detail in all aspects of the store. She remembers birthdays for all the staff and those around her. The girls enjoyed her selections of firemen and sunshine boy photos. An animal and country music lover, Gerda’s humour, kindness, and tireless efforts in supporting her family as well as the family business. Gerda will be remembered and cherished by all who knew her.
