Obituary For Jane Waayenberg

Our loving mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and great-great-grandmother Jane Waayenberg went to be with her Lord and Saviour on Thursday, October 8, 2015 at the age of 92 years. She will be dearly missed.

Jane was born in Barneveld, Netherlands on January 25, 1923 to Pieter and Hendrikje Molenaar. She lived and worked in the Netherlands (Holland) until she immigrated to Canada with her husband, Gerrit Waayenberg and three of their children on April 1, 1952. Jane and her husband, Gerrit settled in the Five Mile Hall District in 1954 where they raised their family and operated a dairy farm for many years. They both were active members of the Christian community in Grande Prairie until their passing. Jane enjoyed her greenhouse and her flowers and was an active member of the Grande Prairie Farmer’s Market for over 41 years. She looked forward to spending her Saturday’s selling her houseplants, bedding plants, knitting and in the recent years, her “chair booties” and socializing with the Farmers Market Community.

Jane is survived by her six children: Nelis (Adele), Peter, Gerry (Peggy), Henry (Lani), Annette (Peter) and Ron (Judy), as well as their children and families.

She was predeceased by her parents, four older brothers, her husband, Gerrit and one grandchild.

A special Thank You to Dr. Richard Martin and his staff for looking after mom over the years, as well as the doctors and staff at the QEII Hospital and at the Cross Cancer Institute over the past 6 weeks.

Visitation and viewing will be held on Friday, October 16, 2015 from 7:00-8:30pm at Oliver`s Funeral Home in Grande Prairie (10005 107 Ave.).

    I knew Jane for many years. I first met her at the Farmers Market where I started to buy house plants from her. I ended up with 42 plants in my living room so we had lots to chat about. I would sometimes come to the farm and buy plants from her . I will always remember Jane when I see certain house plants. Rest in Peace Jane you made this world a better place! Sherry A Drysdale

    We just returned from vacation and learned of Aunt Jane's passing. Please accept our sincere condolences. She was a very upbeat, spunky, amazing lady. We really enjoyed our visit with her a couple of years ago. Her positive and lively spirit was wonderful to see and an inspiration to us all. May she rest in peace. Sincerely, Hank and Diane Goor
