August 31, 2004
FRANCISCA (FRANCES) van HAAREN (nee MUNSTERS) Frances van Haaren passed away peacefully, after a brief illness, at Victoria General Hospital on August 27, 2004 with her son Peter at her side. She was predeceased by her husband Jan; sons, Frank, John and Henk; and thirteen brothers and sisters. She is survived by her son Peter; grandchildren, David, Ricky, John, Brian, Michelle and Jennifer; great-grandchildren, Stephan and Stephanie; daughter-in-law Valerie; and three sisters-in-law, Mien, Bertha and Marietje and numerous nieces and nephews. "Mom, Oma, Cisca, Tante Cis" was the matriarch of our family and lived up to her role with fervour, class and style. Her life was filled with many challenges, all of which she faced with courage and dignity. Her support to family in time of need was unparalleled. In 1960, as a recent widow, Frances followed her three siblings, Piet, Martien and Dora and emigrated from Holland with her four sons. She travelled extensively with her favourite companion, her sister and best friend, Dora. Their stories have entertained family for years. Tante Cis was famous for her poems and tributes at family occasions. The sound of her hearty laugh lingers as a most cherished memory. She loved to sing the Dutch songs, and with the slightest encouragement from family, had no hesitance taking centre stage. Even though legally blind, her passion for cards never diminished. Frances celebrated her 97th birthday just two weeks ago and as usual, accomplished it with style. It is a mark of her strength and endurance to note that she is the first in the Munsters family in 500 years to make it past the age of 90. Her mainstay was her family, especially her niece Peggy who was devoted to her care. Tante Cis cherished calls and visits from her grandchildren and especially the frequent visits from her only remaining son Peter. "Cisca, thank you for the wonderful example you set for us. Your gifts of love, laughter, and courage will always be remembered." The family would like to thank the staff at Victoria General Hospital 3rd floor, especially Nicole and Paul for their outstanding care. Family and friends are invited to celebrate this very special lady's life on Friday, September 3 at St. Ignatius Church, Stafford and Corydon at 11:00 a.m.. Reception will follow the service at Thomson "In the Park" Funeral Home at 1291 McGillivray Blvd. 925-1120. THOMSON Funeral Home - 669 Broadway - 925-1120

In 1952 George met his future wife Muriel who had transferred from Treherne, MB to Roland as chief operator for Manitoba Telephone System. They were married on October 10, 1953. George farmed with his father until he purchased the farm, then farmed alone until 1981 when his son Keith took over farming for five years. In 1986 the farm was rented out to other interests, and then in 2001 the farm was sold. Dad was an avid coin and stamp collector and in early years curled. His children were special to him and he always supported their interests in life, be it sports or 4-H. His four grandchildren were very, very special to him and his many visits with them will be cherished always. George and Murial retired from the farm to Roland in 1986. His enjoyment of friends and relatives were far reaching. Dad will be truly missed by family, friends and all he met. He was a remarkable father and grandfather. Funeral service will be held from Roland United Church in Roland on Wednesday, September 1 at 2:00 p.m. with Rev. Harry Ritchie officiating. Interment will be in Fairview Cemetery, Roland.
