Obituary For Berendina te Linde Van Eerden

Berendina Van Eerden, resident of La Glace, AB, passed away on Saturday, May 30, 2020, at her home west of La Glace, at the age of 93 years.

Berendina was born August 4, 1926, in the Netherlands and lived through the Nazi occupation of her homeland in her teenage years. She married Johannes in 1948 and they immigrated to Canada as newlyweds that same year. After working on various farms around Calgary, in 1960 they bought and moved to their farm west of La Glace where they continued to raise their family. Their faith and trust in God and mindfulness of His grace characterized their lives and work. Berendina stayed active on the farm after the death of Johannes in 1983. She was a dedicated mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. Her unconditional love for everyone of her family will be cherished.

She will be sadly missed by her children: Sandy (Fred) Nyland, Derk (Gail), George (Cheryl), and Roy (Jane); 11 grandchildren; and 22 great-grandchildren.

Berendina was predeceased by her husband Johannes in 1983.

A graveside service will be held on Wednesday, June 3, 2020, at 11:00am, at Northfield Cemetery. A celebration of life will be held with family and friends at a later date.

We were sad to hear of Grandma's passing, and very sorry that we couldn't be there to celebrate her life in person, but we are proud that her strength, her resilience, and her kindness have spread through her children to her grandchildren and to her great-grandchildren.

For the last several days my heart has been full of memories of Grandma and the world she created -- a place in my heart full of joy and gratitude and love. She was and will remain an anchor of goodness in my memory, and in my sense of who I am and how I want to be, just as I see this lived out so clearly in all her children. Caroline met her just once, talked with her on the phone a few times, yet felt immediately the beautiful life Grandma carried within her. We are so sorry we cannot be there to celebrate her life with all the family in the place she called home.
