Rest in Peace, Augustine Van beekom

Dear Family & Friends,

We are deeply saddened to inform you that our beloved mother, Oma (grandmother), great Oma and Tante, Augustine Van beekom, passed away recently at the young age of 90. She is survived by her 3 children: Mirna, Frank & Anthony, as well as 9 grandchildren, and nearly 25 great grandchildren. She is reunited in heaven with her husband, father, and Opa, Tony Van beekom, as well as the rest of her brothers and sisters.

Augustine ("Tine") was the most selfless woman you ever met. She generously gave to her family and friends - even when she had nothing to give. She was the center of our world and went out of her way to bring our family together during times of happiness as well as sadness. Her remarkable gentleness, faithfulness, and love touched the lives of everyone she met and we are honored to have spent so much of her life with her.

Augustine was a devout and faithful Christian. Our faith is because of her faith. She not only shared God's love for us, but echoed his love in her actions. She was obsessed with books (taking the blame for our own obsession with reading), she delighted in gardening, and was an expert at sewing, playing the piano and cooking Indonesian food.

In her later years, you could always find her at her favorite video poker machine, watching her favorite shows on TV, or talking with her children and grandchildren.

She will be greatly missed by us all.

We are asking kindly for donations to help pay for her cremation service, memorial service, and management of her belongings. If there was ever a time you wished to repay our Oma with the same kindness she bestowed on you - now is that time. Every little bit helps ($5, $10 or even $20). If you wish to help in other ways, please share our donation link with your extended friends and family on our behalf.

Thank you all and God bless.

Love,

Her granddaughter, Andrea
