Begemann, Wilhelmina "Miens" (nee Bartelink):
It is with profound sadness the family announces the passing of Wilhelmina Begemann on Friday, December 7, 2018 at Pinehaven Nursing Home, Waterloo at the age of 88.
Beloved wife of Frits Begemann for 60 unforgettable years.
Loving mother of Karen Begemann (Graeme Coleman) and Chris (Elly) Begemann.
Cherished "Omi" of Eric, Lindsay and Christopher.
Survived by her sister Jans (John "Kas") Kassenaar.
Dear aunt of Judith Andreassen and Stephan Orzechowski.
Predeceased by her siblings Henk, Dirk and Aletta.
Miens was deeply loving and had a great sense of humour. She enjoyed music, nature and camping trips with her family and beloved dogs. She was an incredibly talented watercolour painter and was an award winning member of the Purple Studio Painters of Mississauga. Miens was a well loved teacher for almost 40 years and an active member of the Retired Women Teachers Federation of Ontario. She will be remembered for her generous heart, wit and intelligence, and her devotion to her husband, children and family.
