- vanKIPPERSLUIS (Nederend), Johanna Maria
Age 92 , of Mount Denson, Hants Co., passed away peacefully Tuesday, October 14, 2014, in Hants Community Hospital, Windsor. Born in Papekop, Netherlands, she was a daughter of the late Wilhemius and Hendrika (vanBuren) Nederend. Johanna emigrated from Holland in 1955 with her husband and four lovely children, settling in West Caledonia, Queens Co. There they added three more adorable children before moving to a farm in Mount Denson in 1961, where they added two more darling children. In their spare time they poured whatever energy they had left over into St. Mary’s Church. She led the church singing and was a very active long-time member of the church guild, having received the Archdiocesan Medal of Merit in recognition of her generous contributions to St. Mary’s. Over the years many loved ones have been kept warm with Johanna’s beautiful hand knit socks, hats and sweaters. She was an avid seamstress having sewn all of her own clothing as well as most of her children’s. Her sewing talents went far beyond just clothing. She was also very creative with other needle work. She was predeceased by husband, Cornelis vanKippersluis and son, Tony and his wife, Margaret.
