Catharina (Kitty) Louisa Maria Lodewyks
(Nee van Ginkel)
May 4, 1922 ? April 11, 2013
Catharina passed away courageously and peacefully at Tuxedo Villa Extendicare at the age of 90.
Left to cherish her memory are her sons Peter (Gisèle), Hank (Betty), Frank (Wendy), Bill (friend Yvonne), Hans (Doris), Gus (Marilyn), Mike (Sue). Her grandchildren Robert (Bobbi-Jo), Cathy (John), David (Nathalie), Colleen (Joe), Janet (Ben), Michael (Angella), Paul (Cathy), Tracey, Jennifer (Lynn), Troy (Jody), Lynn (Fred), Leanne (Mike), Renae (Chris), Michelle, Ian, Joel (Carly), Kara (Will), Debbie (Brent), Sheri (Kyle), Bryan. Her great grandchildren Keenan, Avery, Matthias, Tobias, John Jacob, Timothy, Émilie, Loïc, Ronin, Shelby, Rebecca, Luke, Nate, Jessica, Amanda, Julia, Vanessa, Chloe, Ryder. Her brother Tony van Ginkel, sister-in-law Josie van Ginkel, brother-in-law Joe de Beer, many loving nieces and nephews, and relatives in the Netherlands.
Mom was predeceased by her loving husband Johannas (Joe), daughter-in-law Colette, mother Johanna van Ginkel, father Petrus van Ginkel, brothers John (Jean), William, Frank (Juliette), Gus, Peter (Irma), Gerry (Blanche), sisters Trudy (Joe) Withoos, Mary (Gerry) de Beer, Ann, Elsy (John) D?Aoust and sister-in-law Rosemary van Ginkel.
Mom was born in Eindhoven, Netherlands. She married Dad in 1947 and they had 7 sons. They immigrated to Canada in 1954 and made their home in Winnipeg. Family was important to Mom. She was happiest when we were all together. Mom?s memory was sharp, even at age 90. She remembered dates, birthdays, anniversaries and lots of family history. Mom was a great cook no matter how large the crowd that dropped in for dinner. She was a fantastic mother, grandmother and great grandmother. Mom?s faith was strong. She showed us how to grow up to be good citizens, to love each other and to help those in need. She taught us to always pray to the Lord and receive strength through our faith. Church was a must every Sunday. Mom, we will always love you and we will never forget you. God bless you!
The family wishes to send a special thanks to family doctor, Dr. Kevin Coates for his care for Mom for many years, Dr. Burke and the staff at Tuxedo Villa, and Dr. Martin and Janice Nesbitt from Palliative Care.
Reciting the Rosary and viewing will be held for anyone wishing to say a personal farewell on Wednesday, April 17, 2013 from 7:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at E.J. Coutu Funeral Home, 680 Archibald Street, Winnipeg.
