Cornelia “Corrie” Brouwers Obituary
Cornelia “Corry” Brouwers
March 1, 1929 – January 7, 2025
It is with great sadness that we say goodbye to our loving mother Corrie Brouwers (nee Van Bakel) who passed away peacefully on January 7th, 2025 in the Milton District Hospital, surrounded by her children and their spouses.
She will be loved and missed every single day.
Corrie was born in Holland on March 1, 1929 to Hendrika (Van Der Zanden) and Franciscus Van Bakel. She was the eldest of twelve children and, at an early age, took on the role of second mother to many of her siblings. With the passing of her parents, she was known as her family’s “Matriarch”.
She married the love of her life Theodorus (Ted) Cornelius Brouwers (d. June 5, 1999). They made a home for themselves in Canada, raising 5 children; John, Trudy, Frank, Rita and Maranda. Their family tree grew to include 11 grandchildren and 21 great grandchildren, all of whom were loved by their Oma and “Great” Oma. Mom always stressed that the greatest accomplishment of her life was her family. Her capacity for love knew no bounds and everyone who met her was touched by her smile, her sense of humour and her ever-so-strong hugs.
Mom’s greatest hardship was the passing of her Darling daughter, Maranda Richard (December 3, 2022) and her loving grandson Greg Priede (August 25, 2020).
Mom, we love you so very much and miss you already!
