Obituary of Adela Vanbiesbrouck

Vanbiesbrouck, Adela Marie (nee Koekhuyt) of Chatham passed away suddenly Jan 19, 2016 at the Residence on the Thames at the age of 89. Beloved wife of the late Joseph Vanbiesbrouck. Loving mother to Joanne and Kelly Hoppe of Windsor, Jim and Dorothy Vanbiesbrouck of Mississauga, Michael and Brenda Vanbiesbrouck of Chatham. Forever missed by her grandchildren Eric, David and Megan Vanbiesbrouck. Predeceased by her sister Mary Pinsonneault, and by her brother Joseph Koekhuyt. Adela had many talents, working miracles in a garden or with a sewing machine, just to name a few. But her real passion was caring for others as a volunteer and as a good friend to many over the last 25 years of her life at Residence on the Thames. She thrived on being needed by others, considering that the ultimate compliment. Adela will always be remembered for her determination, hard work and generosity of spirit. Special thanks to the staff at Residence on the Thames for their kindness and support. Honouring her wishes a Private Family Funeral and cremation will take place with interment to follow. Those wishing to leave an expression of sympathy are asked to consider the Heart and Stroke Foundation. Online condolences may be left at www.mckinlayfuneralhome.com.
