Fetje Lok

her Lord and Savior. She was a bright light to all who had the chance to know her.

Fetje Bakker was born in Parrega, the Netherlands. She was a sister to six brothers and two sisters. A child of World War 2, she learned to persevere and always make the most of any situation. One of her most favorite sayings was “I need to try to my utmost!”

Fetje came to Canada on her own at the age of 21, looking for work for her brothers. She met her soon to be husband while disembarking in Victoria. During the immigration process her name was changed to Nettie. Our mom and dad loved each other very much and were married November 1st, 1956. They had three daughters and one son. We spent many years moving around BC. Mom could make anywhere home. We have fond memories of camping all over North America. Sadly her soulmate passed away 3 weeks after moving to Prince George in 2016.

Cooking was not her forte that was a job for our dad. Mom was an amazing seamstress, knitter and

loved to crochet. Most of her granddaughters have had their grad dresses expertly designed and made by her. All of the grandchildren and great grandchildren have socks, slippers and pajamas made by her hand.

Mom loved her family, she had 15 grandchildren, and 16 great grandchildren, including a little girl born January 7, 2023. The” littles” were the light of her life. They have many great memories of singing “I’m a Little Teapot”, “Jesus loves me” and some Dutch favorites. Going for treats at DQ were always on the list to do.

Moms last few years were spent in Prince George. With still some camping and many visits with family. In 2019, Mom went to The Netherlands one last time with her 4 children and some of her grandchildren, we had the time of our life with her.

She is now reunited with our Dad and her granddaughter, Rani, who she has deeply missed.

Mom is survived and will be forever missed by daughter Tina Lok and her children - Kristine, Jeffrey & Danielle (Jackson, Oliver); daughter Aillen Timmer (Gary) and their children - Carl & Michelle (Paige, Rylan, Jace), Cheryl-Lynn & Nathan, (Lexa, Link), Mandy & Curtis (Emmerson, Tate, Addison, Lok), Britney & Tom (Easton, Oliver, Willa), Jacklyn, Xavier, Orion, Harley; daughter Joanne Huisman (Ron) and their children - Kayla & Nathan (Caelum, Willem) Jordan, Kyle; son Gary & Elisa and their children - Bryson, Kassandra; sister Tine; brothers Art, John and Hans, and many other family and

friends.

We would like to give special thanks to her very special friend Rosanne, you made our mom so happy every time you walked through the door! Also thank you to the hard working paramedics who gave mom a few rides, the staff on FMU, you are amazing. And the staff and residents at Laurier Manor, you welcomed mom with open arms and gave her a home where she was safe. The hospice house, where angels work, thank you for treating our mom like a lady.

In lieu of flowers, please consider donating to the Prince George Hospice Palliative Care Society on Mom's behalf (www.pghpcs.ca/support).
