Gerrie Howden
It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved mother, Gerrie Howden who passed away on April 12, 2025 at the age of 82.
She is survived by her husband Bill of ten years, daughter Darlene (Marv) Kehler and son Robert (Leta) Douma, five grandchildren, and ten great-grandchildren, who will miss her dearly. She is predeceased by her son, Brian Douma.
Mom was born in The Netherlands and immigrated to Canada at the age of 11. She spent the majority of her life residing in Portage la Prairie where she worked in the Home Care profession. She was a feisty, independent lady who had a passion for her flower beds and feeding the amazing variety of birds that visited.
A private interment service will be held for immediate family members.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations can be made to Alzheimer's Society in her memory.
Rest in peace, dear Moeder. You will forever be in our hearts and memories.
