Sue Jouwstra

I was very saddened to hear Sue had passed away!! Annette, John and Ed, you are all in my thoughts and prayers!! Our deepest condolences to all of the family!!

Annette, John & Ed and families: You chose a beautiful photo of your Mom for this announcement. I am sorry for your loss. Your Mom was a hard working lady who always got the job done. I enjoyed my visits with her. She and your dad made a great team,

Oh my goodness. Just reading this today. I first met Sue when I worked at Cobourg Walmart. She would come in with her husband. She always had a kind word and a warm hug. We kept in touch via Facebook when I moved away. She always had a positive word for me. I will miss this greatly.

I'm torn to see the announcement of her passing. I would have hoped to see her one more time. Maybe a lunch together would have been nice. She and Jerry welcomed me into their home in the early 1980s and I was their friend forever after. Sue had a big heart and as a friend you were always in that big heart. Sue, I will miss your not being in this world any longer. Condolences to all of the family. Sincerely Gord & Marg Jibb

Sorry for your loss RIP

Thinking of you Annette, although it's been many years since I've seen you, my memory serves me well of your mom. ❤️

My condolences to John and Ed for the loss of your Mom. Remember the good time with her.

I’m so very sorry to hear about sue , she will be missed.

Dear Jouwstra Family: I volunteer with Community Care Northumberland, as a Telephone Reassurance Caller, that's how I met your Mom, Sue. I called her every Wednesday for the last three years. Our original 5 minute conversations soon turned into 30 minute ones. She was always very happy to share with me her life story, what new Diamond Dot she was working on, and her love for her children and grandchildren. She was always interested in hearing about my life and what I had been up to in the previous week. She was a kind, funny, loving lady, whom I will miss very much. My sincere condolences Wanda

Dear Jouwstra & Egas family, My condolences to the family. Every holiday I was in Canada I always visited aunt Sue. I have very fond memories of the time she lived on the farm and the sleepover with my sister. We were in regular contact via Facebook and she could see how things were in the Netherlands. She was always interested and sympathetic and had a warm heart. We will miss her but she will always be in our hearts. We wish you much strength in these difficult times.

Dear family, accept my heartfelt sympathie! She was my cousin, my father was the brother of her mother. I think of you this day, the day of the funeral. Anne Scheele-Gaastra

Sorry to hear of Sue’s passing We met her years ago when our sons were in hockey Sharan enjoyed meeting her at Julie’s hair salon over the years She always had a smile for whoever she met She will be missed

We are very sorry to hear of Sue's passing, she was a very kind and caring person.Her devotion and countless hours towards Northumberland Agriculture and more so to Northumberland Cattlemans Association will not be forgotten.Sue could endure many a meeting with all the elected directors happily conversating about all things except what was on the agenda to discuss at that particular meeting. When the evening was over Sue would have every T crossed and I dotted and kept all involved in order. Sue and Jerry together made a lasting impression towards cattle farming for Northumberland County.It was a great privilege knowing and serving with both Sue and Jerry.

I would like to offer my condolences to Sue’s family and friends on this loss. Wishing you much strength. I am the daughter of Otto Gaastra (and Wimmie). My father was a cousin of Sue. Through Facebook, I was sometimes in contact with Sue. She always responded so kindly and showed interest in my life in the Netherlands, even though we never met in person. A loving and warm woman. Warm regards, Marian de Jong-Gaastra

dear family found and lots of strength

« Sue, Louise and I met at Westpark Health Care Center in June 2019. We soon bonded and became the 3 Amigos as Sue called us. We stayed in touch often and visited her when we could. She was a great mentor and friend who will sadly be missed and will always be remembered. My sincere condolences to the family

Sue was an ever-positive, loving and lovely woman. She was one of the first people to drop by the Colborne Chronicle office 30 years ago to welcome me. That was Sue: she made a point of reaching out to people, in kindness and support. Also a great sense of humour! She was a real powerhouse for the Cattlemen’s Association, much appreciated. For the family, what a legacy you have inherited! Thank you, Sue, for your friendship.

My sincere condolences to Annette, John Ed and family. She was a super mom and friend to all. Cherish all those wonderful memories. Sending hugs to all.
