On Wednesday January 18, 2012 Johanna Jacoba (Hanny) Perrels (Dekker) at Sprucedale Care Centre, Strathroy in her 94th year. Beloved wife of the late Johannes Francis Perrels (1982). Hanny will be mourned by several nephews and nieces in the Netherlands and by her Canadian friends. Born in Zeeland, the Netherlands she came to Sarnia in 1957 and was married to John Perrels in October 1957. After John's retirement they moved to Twin Elm Estate, Strathroy. Hanny was an avid gardener and had a lovely garden while living in Twin Elm Estate. Hanny could be seen riding her bike all through town. In 1996 Hanny sold her home and moved to an apartment then later to Trillium Village, where she lived many happy years. In 2004 she then moved to Strathmere Lodge and 2006 she moved to the newly built Sprucedale Care Centre. In both homes she was lovingly cared for by Doctors and Staff. Hanny was a faithful member and supporter of Strathroy United Church. Hanny was a good friend of my parents and my mother and Hanny shared many a laugh over the years. It was my privilege to share in Hanny's care in her later years. God Speed, Hanny. Your friend Anne Pelkman. A memorial service will take place in the chapel in Sprucedale Care Centre on Tuesday January 24, 2012 at 11:00am with Rev. Julia Sinclair officiating.
