Nel slipped gently from us with the same grace and beauty which permeated all aspects of her life. And so she re-joined Klaas, the love of her life. Wonderful mother of Robert (Elaine), Wendy (Michael), and Steven (Karen), her love of grandsons Kurt and Dirk was also without end. That love was extended to Tomas who was born a week prior to her passing. Photos and videos of him lightened her final days. Fondly remembered by family in the Netherlands, including sisters Leni and Anneke, and many nephews and nieces. Always devoted to her family, friends and Ottawa's Dutch community, Nel's spark, love and generosity for others will be long remembered by many. Friends are welcome at Tubman Funeral Home (3440 Richmond Rd, Nepean ON, K2H 8H7) for a memorial visitation on Friday, February 13 from 4-6 PM. The funeral will be held at the same location on Saturday, February 14 at 11 AM, reception to follow. The family would like to thank Nel's outstanding palliative care team, led by Dr. Paul Hacker, with very special mention to nurses Suzanne, Jodi and Cathy, and PSWs Michele and Kodine. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Canadian Cancer Society are welcomed.
