It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden death of our precious Mom, Oma, and Great Oma from a courageous, brief battle with undiagnosed lung cancer. She was predeceased by her father, Arie Zwiep, mother, Sijntje (Koster); sister, Anne VanRheenen (Monsma) in Holland. In Canada, her beloved husband of fifty years, Edwin Schella.
