Cornelis (Cor) Josephus Manders

1940 - November 13, 2024

Cornelis (Cor) Josephus Manders passed away peacefully at Country Terrace Long-Term Care Home in Komoka on Wednesday, November 13, 2024, at the age of 84. Born in Lierop, The Netherlands, Cor immigrated to Canada in 1978 with his beloved wife, Cornelia (Corry) Manders, and their children.

Cor was a devoted husband, father to Caroline, Marc, and Sandra (Greg), and a proud grandfather to Dylan Manders and Matthew Meersseman. His family brought him immense joy, and he will be greatly missed by them and his remaining relatives in The Netherlands.

The family wishes to express their gratitude to the doctors and nurses at Four Counties Health Services and Strathroy Middle General Hospital. A special thank you goes to the compassionate medical staff and caregivers at Country Terrace for their exceptional care of Cor during his battle with dementia over the past several years.

We extend our deepest sympathies to Cor’s family and friends during this time of loss. May his memory bring comfort and peace to all who knew him.
