Obituary
“Sursum Corda”
We are saddened to announce that Marti van Hoeve (nee de Jager) passed away unexpectedly at Shalom Manor, Grimsby, on August 15, 2022, in her 97th year. Predeceased by her parents Marinus de Jager and Cornelia Timmerman, and siblings Nel Legters-de Jager, Gerard de Jager, and Janny de Heus-de Jager, she was the proud matriarch of an extended family who live across North America. Cherished Mother of Ben (Deborah), Mark (†), Frank (Darlene) and Corine (Tom). Beloved Oma of Beth (Tom), John (Kristin), Meghan, Tim (Brittney), Leah (Lydia), Reuben (Colleen), Abby, Nathan, Naomi and three great grandchildren, Emma, Anderson and Sofie. Remembered by her nieces, nephews and sister-in-law in The Netherlands.
Having trained and worked as a teacher in The Netherlands, Marti came to Canada in 1956 for adventure and to improve her English. She met and married her husband John van Hoeve at Westdale Reformed Church within the year and remained a member of the community there for the rest of her life. Together John and Marti raised their children and operated their general contracting business until John’s death in 1979. Marti continued to work with her son Ben until her retirement. She spent many years volunteering with Medical Mission International and the Reformed Church in America, travelling the globe. Friends and neighbours will remember Marti riding her bicycle throughout Flamborough, her determined spirit and her widespread charity.
Marti’s family wants to acknowledge the care and companionship of her caregivers, especially throughout the pandemic: the staff and volunteers of the Mapleview unit at Shalom Manor, and Simranjit Kaur and Hanna Solenke.
Friends will be received at the Visitation at KITCHING, STEEPE & LUDWIG FUNERAL HOME, 146 Mill St. N., Waterdown on Thursday, Aug. 18, 2022 from 7-9 p.m. A Private Family Service will be held with interment at Waterdown Union Cemetery. A celebration of her life will be held for family and friends at Westdale Reformed Church at a later date to be announced. In lieu of flowers, donations to Countryside Camp or Medical Mission International would be appreciated as expressions of sympathy.
