Ena Pennings
Peacefully at home, surrounded by her loving family, Ena
Pennings (nee Janssen) passed into Glory on the evening of Thursday,
April 22, 2021.
Ena was a cherished wife and helpmate to Hans for almost 51
years. A loving mother to Ken and Janna Pennings, Jeff and Christine
Pennings, Sherry (and Mike ✝) Neven, Paul and Lori-Ann
Pennings, Tanya Pennings, and Rob and Amanda
Pennings.
Ena enjoyed being a grandma to 23 grandchildren and 2 great
grandchildren.
Ena is predeceased by her parents, Jan and Grace Janssen and
Gerda and Bernard Pennings. She is survived by her
step-mother in law, Nellie
Pennings.
She will be missed by her siblings, Bill and Chris Janssen,
JoAnn and Klass Meeboer, Henk and Suzanne Janssen, Marg and Pieter
VanderMeyden, and Gary and Joyce Janssen.
Ena has also been loved by her sibling-in-laws, Bill and Gwen
Pennings, Theo and Linda Pennings, Dick and Joanne Pennings, Lyda and
Dave McKittrick, Henry and Coby Pennings, Joanne and Stan Puklicz,
John and Ann Pennings, Gary and Janet Pennings, Brenda and Carl
Heimstra, Jim Versteeg, Mary and Ryan Koning, Andrew and Tricia
Versteeg, and Brian Versteeg.
Ena professed faith in Jesus. She was known for her giving,
hospitality, and self-denying ways. She would have been 71
years old in June. She retired at age 65 from Ayr Coach
Lines. Soon after, she started experiencing symptoms that
would later be defined as Progressive Supranuclear Palsy. It was a
hard journey. Her earthly body was tired and it
didn’t allow her to function in the swift and loving ways
she was characterized for. But through this all, God has
been gracious.
Show me your ways, Lord,
teach me your paths.
Guide me in your truth and teach me,
for you are God my Savior,
and my hope is in you all day long.
Psalm 25:4-5
Hans and Ena moved into an in-law suite in Paul and
Lori-Ann’s home about 2 years ago. Hans and the
other siblings would like to praise God for the way in which He
provided for mom’s care through Paul, Lori-Ann and their
children, Sarah, Reuben, and Abigail. The family wishes to
also thank Sunnyside Senior Services, The LHIN, and Care Partners
(Ethel and Eva) for their care.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Word and
Deed. On-line condolences can be forwarded to the family at
Corbett Funeral Home.
