BASTIAANTJE WILHELMINA
(JEAN) PRINS
(nee GRISNIGT)
It
is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Jean Prins peacefully at
the Grace Hospital on Friday, March 7, 2014. Mom was 94 and lovingly called Oma
by her family and friends.
Left
to sadly miss Oma are her two children Corrine (Bruce) and Tom (Joanne);
grandchildren Bryan (Bridget) and Sarah; great granddaughter Shannon; brother
Bram (Ann); as well as numerous relatives in Holland and Sweden. She was
predeceased by her husband Cornelis in 1991 and her sister Toos in 2005.
Oma
was born in Rotterdam, Holland and met the love of her life Cornelis while
going to school in Delft. In 1954 they left war torn Europe to make a better
life for their kids in Canada. Oma generously volunteered her time preparing
meals-on-wheels at the Grace Hospital for many years. She managed to remain in
her house until the end with the assistance of dedicated homecare staff
especially Yamin and Janice. The family is very grateful to them for their care
and friendship.
To
honour Oma’s wishes, no service will be held.
Oma
supported many charitable organizations especially the Grace Hospital. If
friends so desire, memorial donations may be made to the Grace Hospital
Foundation, 300 Booth Drive, Winnipeg, MB R3J 3M7.

was a loving, gentle soul who was cherished by her family.

will live forever in our hearts.
