Fenna Cook, beloved wife, mother, sister, nana, and friend transitioned peacefully on the 23rd of December 2021 after a valiant battle with cancer at the age of 76.
Fenna was born to Bertha and Willem Vlaanderen on March 04, 1945, and immigrated to British Columbia Canada from Hilversum Holland when she was a young child, along with her immediate family. She married Thomas Barry Cook on August 03, 1978, in Vernon BC, and along with her two daughters, made their home in Kamloops, BC.
Fenna was a gentle soul and a hard worker who made friends easily, loved her family, valued her career, had a knack for numbers and enjoyed the little things in life. She was always available to help someone in need, loved the summertime and liked to travel. She was a snowbird at heart. Fenna liked to spend time with dear friends, write, play cards, do crossword and sudoku puzzles, golf, ride bikes, do water aerobics and try her hand at different crafts. Most recently she mastered Swedish Weaving, creating beautiful blankets for her loved ones. In younger years she liked to curl, dance and play the Saxophone.
Fenna is survived by: Her husband Barrie of Kamloops, her brother Bill (Hellen) of Pritchard, her children Corrina (Chris) of Kamloops, Angelina (Jackie)of Kamloops, Michael of Victoria, Lesley (Bill) of Courtenay, Steven (Aleasha) of Sooke, her grandchildren Tyler (Jasmine), Connor (Jamie), Meghan, Christy Leigh (Curtis), Stephen (Alyssa) and Tyrone, along with several great grandchildren, nieces and nephews. She is preceded in death by her mother Bertha, father Willem, brother Barend and daughter Debbie.
A private celebration of life will be held in the summer of 2022.
