Hieke Veldhuisen
January 16, 1958 - September 7, 2024
In Loving Memory
Hieke Veldhuisen
It is with great sadness we announce the peaceful passing of Hieke Veldhuisen. She is survived by her husband of 46 years, Teun, children Christy (R.J.), Jennifer, Michael (Rachel), Danielle (James) and grandchildren Jacob, Cody, Brooklyn, Ella, Sienna, Hunter, Mariah and Josh.
Hieke was born on January 16, 1958 in Holysloot, Netherlands to Piet and Krijntje Abma. After high school she became a care aide. Hieke worked for three months and then met her husband Teun. Two months later she followed him to Canada to achieve their dream to farm.
After marrying Teun in 1978, they started a family in Armstrong in 1980. Hieke was very proud of her four children. Hieke and Teun had a successful farm and development company.
Hieke’s focus was on her family and dairy farm. She enjoyed gardening, crocheting, yoga and being a part of a choir. Hieke loved being an Oma. She enjoyed playing Uno and Rummikub with her grandchildren. Hieke was never in any pain, never complained and enjoyed life to the fullest. Hieke will be missed dearly by her family.
A service will be held at 1:00pm on Friday, September 13, 2024 at Saint Andrew’s United Church (1110 Belvedere Street, Enderby, BC).

Het boek is gesloten
Het leven voorbij
Een laatste dag
Definitief afscheid
Nog even vasthouden
Dan moeten laten gaan
Het einde van samen
Het begin van een nieuw bestaan
Heel veel kracht
Om voorbije leegte en gemis
Te ontdekken dat de gedeelde liefde
Altijd terug te vinden is.
Veel sterkte vandaag!

We have many beautiful memories of the times we were in Canada and stayed with uncle Teun and aunt Hieke on the farm or when they came to the Netherlands and we went to Volledam to eat fish with them. These memories will always stay with us and we will miss her. We wish everyone strength and courage for now.
Beste Teun, kinderen en kleinkinderen,
Gecondoleerd met het overlijden van jullie geliefde Hieke.

We never got to know Hieke but became neighbours about two years ago . We have the pleasure of knowing ,Tom and Michael. We would like to pass on condolences to the family and were prevailed to attend the service in Enderby .
To Teun and family we wish to express our our heart felt sympathy with the passing of your wife Hieke and mother of your children. I am thankful that I at least got to shake your hand at Aunt Nelle’s funeral and was truly surprised that Hieke passed away so soon after that. We pray that you will be encouraged to know that we care about your loss and pray that there are those close to you that can physically encourage you and your family. If you are ever in Alberta please feel free to stop in.
Sincerely
Johan and Brenda
