Catharina “Carina” Schuurman Obituary
Catharina “Carina” Wilhelmina Schuurman (née Oussoren) passed away peacefully surrounded by her family in her home in Grand Rapids, Michigan just after the sun rose on December 15, 2023. Carina was born in Breukelen, Netherlands on February 19, 1968, the firstborn child of Piet and Willy Oussoren. She was sister to Anja, Marco (in memory), Peter (Julie), and Hans (in memory, husband to Rachel). Her family immigrated to Canada in 1981. She was the beloved wife of Derek for over 34 years and nurturing mother to John (Alyssa), Helena (Dave) Schuurman-Drenth, David (Alyssa), and Julia. She nurtured many students as an elementary Christian school teacher over the years, both in Ontario and Michigan, and touched the lives of many friends. She will be remembered for her creative eye expressed in art, gardening, homemaking, and her sincere faith in her Lord Jesus.
