Vera Ludwin Irwin of Blenheim passed away at home on Monday October 4, 2021 with her loving daughter Mary Dawn by her side. Born in Basshaw Alberta 95 years ago, Vera was predeceased by the love of her life Don Irwin in 2019 on their 73rd wedding anniversary and by her son Tim Irwin in 1991. Along with Mary Dawn, she is survived by her grandsons Mitchell Snobelen, Chuck Irwin and Jesse James Irwin and her great grandchildren Berhonica and Martin.
Vera was the eldest of five children born to Bessie & George DeLeeuw and helped raise her siblings Bud, Harvey, Wayne and Janet. She will be missed by her good friends Ethel Townsend, Carol Embury, Gordon Want, Jeannie Ramsden, Jim Nauta and Harold VanderEnde.
With the help of the nurses from V.O.N. and the PSW’s from Care Partners, V.O.N., the Alzheimer’s Society and Bayshore, Vera was able to spend her final years at home. Her family will be eternally grateful for that blessing.
It was Vera’s request that cremation take place. A private family graveside service will be held at Evergreen Cemetery. Blenheim Community Funeral Home entrusted with funeral arrangements. Friends wishing to remember Vera with a memorial donation are asked to consider Trinity Anglican Church or the Alzheimers Association.
