July 18, 1946 – January 4, 2022
On January 4, 2022, our dearly loved Wife, Mom, Sister, Auntie, Gramma and GG (Great Gramma), took her last breath on this earth and went to be with her Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
Detty leaves behind Gerry, her devoted husband of 58 years, her three children: Irene (Gerry), Gerry (Kari), Yvonne (Guy), 7 grandchildren, 3 great grandchildren. Also left behind are her loving sisters, Delyse, Simone (Don), Michelle and Patricia (Carl), brother-in-law Ron (Gloria) and many nieces and nephews.
Detty was caring, loving and inviting. She always had an open door and a warm meal to share with family and friends. She was quick to smile, generous with her time and always happy to lend a helping hand. She loved people and especially children. She had a way of making others feel cared for and invested time and love naturally into their lives. Her impact on many people’s lives will be her legacy.
Her commitment to Jesus, her family and friends was fierce and loyal. Although her life was cut short by cancer, she leaves a legacy of love which she both gave to and received from so many.
She will be missed and always remembered.
