TRYNTJE BAKEMA (nee PLEIZIER) On December 26, 2013 with great sadness we announce the passing of Tryntje Bakema, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother after a long struggle with Alzheimer's Disease. Born in Groningen, Netherland on October 7, 1923, immigrated to Canada with her family in the fall of 1954 and resided in Transcona for most of her life. She was predeceased by her husband Arend of 49 years in 1993, daughter Hendrikje in 1956 and son Albert in 1994. Tryntje is survived by her daughters Tryntje Cathy (Wayne) Finlay and Johanna (Charlie) Bynski and her son Arend Harry (Roseanna) Bakema. Grandchildren David (Paula) Bynski, Richard Bynski, Cherie (Erik) Sochin, Maria (John) Barnard and step-grandchildren Chris and Craig Finlay and their families and great-grandchildren Alexander, Kelvin, Rachel, Noah, and Joseph. She is also survived by her sister Johanna Bos, the last of a family of thirteen and numerous nieces and nephews in Holland. Mom's focus was always on family, special occasions and in her younger years, camping in the Whiteshell. The family would like to thank the staff at Concordia Place for the compassionate care over the last thirteen years. Cremation has taken place and a funeral service will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Alzheimer's society would be appreciated. Funeral Arrangements in Care of Wheeler Funeral Home, Cemetery & Crematorium 1800 Day Street 224-1525
