Berkvens, Mary Anna
«Miet», Heatherton/Antigonish
On the
evening of March 16, 2023, Mary Anna ‘Miet» (Vinken)
Berkvens left us peacefully and quietly surrounded by
family.
Mary was born
in Ommel, the Netherlands, on December 6, 1928. She
immigrated to Canada in 1952 as a young newlywed. In the
years that followed, mom dedicated her life to family, farming and
community. Her faith remained strong as she worked
tirelessly in service to others. We take comfort in the
knowledge that she can now be at rest.
Mom is
survived by her nine children and their spouses: Harriet (Ernie), John
(Judy), Fred (Brenda), Peter (Cathy), Jim (Camille) Jerry (Joan),
Robert (Chloe Ann), Nellie (Wade), Theresa (Jeff); twenty-nine
grandchildren and twenty-five great grandchildren. She will be dearly
missed by her sister Anna in the Netherlands as well as in-laws
Nellie, Jerry, Tina and Helma and numerous nieces and
nephews.
Mom was
predeceased by her husband of nearly sixty years, Joseph, in 2012; her
granddaughter Gina; parents Harriet and Frietz, as well as siblings,
Frietz, Toon, Johan, Hannie, Leen and Jan.
«And just at the moment when someone at my side
says, «There she is gone!» There are other eyes watching her
coming and other voices ready to take up the glad shout; «Here
she comes!» And that is
Dying.»
Visitation
will be in C.L. Curry Funeral Home, 135 College Street, Antigonish on
Tuesday, March 21st, from 6 to 9 pm.
Funeral Mass will be in Immaculate Conception Church, Heatherton on
Wednesday, March 22nd,at 11:00 am with Reverend
Charlie Cameron presiding. Burial in the parish
cemetery.
Family
