Marinus (Rien) Bassie Obituary
It is with both sadness and joy that we announce that The Lord has called home His faithful servant, Marinus (Rien) Bassie in his 88th year, on January 30, 2025. Rien is dearly missed by his beloved wife of almost 65 years, Diana Bassie (nee Schipper). Loving father to Angie (Fred) Holman, Debbie (Ken) deHaan and Mark (Laura) Bassie. Proud Grandpa/Opa to Crystal, April (Randy), †Kevin (‘92), Cory (Sam), Justin (Mariane), Heather, Niesje (Dan), Bea, Sierra (Jesse), Summer (Richard), Connor (Alyssa) and Great-grandfather to Alex, Helena, Lily, Amelia, Grace, Eve, William, Marcus, Kaiah, Madeline and Archie. Rien was the fourth of twelve children from Marines and Lena Bassie. Dear brother of †David (Evalina), †Jack (†Myrna), †Sarah (†George), †Len (twin), (Carol), Paul (Barb), Trudy (Ben), Bill (Wilma), Peter (†Karen), †Case (Bridgette), Lenie (Bob) and †John and brother-in-law to Nellie (†Paul), Agnes (John), Corrie (Eric) and Case (Alida). Rien will also be missed by his many nieces and nephews.
Rien was a proud post-war Dutch immigrant. His family settled in the Holland Marsh in 1954 and his first job was working in the vegetable fields. Rien had a passion for gardening that followed him throughout his life and spent most of his career operating Amsterdam Landscaping and Garden Service. Even after retirement, Rien could be found working in his own garden for which he won several Trillium awards. Rien was an active member of his church throughout his life and spent many years volunteering for Shalom Manor in Grimsby and the Mission Thrift Store.
The family is ever grateful for the care Dad received from the amazing nurses and doctors at both Juravinski and St. Peter’s hospitals. They are true heroes.
Visitors will be received by the family at Mount Hope Community CRC, 3076 Homestead Drive, Mt. Hope, Ontario, L0R 1W0 on Tuesday February 4, 2025 from 6 – 9 pm. A Celebration of Life will be held at the same location on Wednesday February 5, 2025 at 11 am with lunch to follow. If you are unable to attend, a livestream of the service will be available via the church’s website www.mounthopecommunitycrc.org using the livestream icon.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Rien’s name to Shalom Manor, Grimsby, ON.
