KORTEKAAS, Maureen Andrea
April 6, 1983 - August 28, 2006
It is with great sadness and sorrow that our family announces the death of Maureen Kortekaas, peacefully in her sleep, at home in Ajax, Ontario on Monday, August 28 at the age of 23. Maureen was born a normal vibrant, happy baby girl on April 6, 1983. At the age of 3 ½ months, Maureen's life changed forever when she suffered an adverse reaction to the DPTP/Whooping cough vaccine. Maureen had an intense will to live, struggling with the ravages of multiple physical and intellectual disabilities which resulted from the acquired brain injury delivered by the vaccine. Maureen was and will continue to be an enormous inspiration to us all. She overcame many obstacles and crises in her short life and taught us the true meaning of courage. Maureen is the beloved middle child of Henry and Katie Kortekaas of Ajax; she is survived by her older brother Kevin and his wife Tricia of St. Catharine's, and her younger sister Julie of London, paternal Grandmother Johanna Kortekaas of Oshawa and numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins. Maureen lived a courageous life surrounded daily by loving family and many caregivers and nurses who helped her battle for a fully engaged, vibrant and giving life. Maureen loved to laugh and will always be an inspiration to us all. Her beautiful smile would light up a room and her love was uncompromising leaving those who knew her a lasting legacy. She was truly unique. The family is eternally grateful to the many wonderful and kind team members that provided loving and nurturing care over the years, especially Jocelyn Imperial and Jonnalyn Abalos, the Home Relief team of nurses, Dr. Lawrence Tanious, and many other medical and therapeutic providers who all contributed to making Maureen's last few years as comfortable as possible. The Funeral Service will take place Friday, September 1, 2006 at 9:30 am at St. Francis de Sales Roman Catholic Church at 1001 Ravenscroft Road, Ajax, with a reception to follow at St. Francis de Sales Church. In lieu of flowers, the family would sincerely appreciate a charitable donation to the Childhood Cancer Research Foundation. Donation can be made by contacting jowita.klyszejko@cbsa-asfc.gc.ca or visiting www.childhoodcancer.ca.
