Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryCATHARINA KUYPERS 1928 - 2014 Oma passed away peacefully at her residence at the Whitemouth Personal Care Home on Saturday, November 15, 2014. Catherina was born on April 30, 1928 in Holland, the 10th child in a family of 13. After marrying Theo in Holland in February, 1953, they moved to Canada. They farmed in Little Britain for eight years. In 1961 they moved to Whitemouth where they continued farming with their family until their retirement in 1981. They enjoyed travelling and spending time with family and friends. Mom continued travelling after Theo's passing, including a trip to New Zealand by herself to visit her brother. "Katie" could be seen regularly in the community riding her bike. She also enjoyed spending time at the senior's club in Whitemouth and volunteering at the personal care home. Smiling was oh so natural to her. She rarely had an unkind word to say about anyone. She went through life with a quiet determination to make the best of every situation. She was predeceased by her husband, Theo in 1994. She was also predeceased by her parents and 10 of her siblings. She is survived by her seven children, Carolien (Glenn), Bert (Trudy), Elaine (Ernie), Marianne (Fred), Willy (Kathy), Ed (Cathy) and Jeannie (Terry); grandchildren Brett (Erin), Carla, Tyler (Ruby) Malkoske, Amory and Travis Kuypers, Michael (Kayla) and Nick Turchyn, Jason (Ryna) and Grant (Melissa) Wiebe, Shannon (Derek Fehr) and Trevor Hastman, Randy and Jeff Kuypers, Melissa (Matt) and Janel Kuypers, and Brittany and Megan Brook, and great-grandchildren Keenin Turchyn, Sienna Fehr and Jaida Wiebe. She is also survived by one sister in Holland, one brother in New Zealand, several brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law and many nieces and nephews. The family would like to express their thanks to the staff at the Whitemouth Personal Care Home for their kindness over the past three years. Funeral service will be held on Saturday, November 29 at 11:00 a.m. at Sobering Funeral Chapel, Beausejour.

When I ran for the nomination of the PC Party in LaVerendrye, I came to Theo & Catherine's door and kept on coming back. I find it hard to talk about just one of them. They were beautiful, friendly, helpful, honest, God fearing people. Catherine was one of many in the Whitemouth area that we loved very much. May God bless the whole Kuyper family and give them a lot of Love and Strength at this time. - Posted by: Ben & Millie Sveinson (Friends) on: Nov 26, 2014
