It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Ineke Verhagen on Tuesday, January 11th, 2022, at QHC Trenton Memorial Hospital at the age of 88. Ineke is survived by her loving husband of 68 years Arie Verhagen of Carrying Place, Ontario; daughter Saskia Verhagen of Carrying Place, Ontario; son Greg Verhagen and daughter-in-law Connie Verhagen of Tallahassee, Florida; brother Auto Hooning of Haarlem, Netherlands; grandson Dalton Verhagen and his wife Myriam both of Eschborn, Germany; and granddaughter Nicole Verhagen of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Ineke was born in Haarlem, Netherlands on June 26th, 1933. She married her lifelong sweetheart, Arie on June 23rd, 1953. They immigrated to Canada and settled in Hamilton, Ontario that same year. Together they built an amazing life and beautiful memories through the years. Ineke loved to write, sketch, and paint. She was constantly “doodling” and left behind an amazing trove of drawings, paintings, sketches, and poetry showing the World through her eyes. Ineke always saw the positive side of life, had kind words for all, and above all cherished her family. She will be missed but never forgotten by those she loved and who loved her.
A private Celebration of Life Service will be held in the funeral home at a later date. Arrangements have been entrusted to the RUSHNELL FUNERAL HOME 60 Division St., Trenton (613-392-2111). To leave a condolence, please visit www.rushnellfamilyservices.com
