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.
