REYNDERS, Aafke - Passed away peacefully, surrounded by her loving family, at Mackenzie Richmond Hill Hospital, on Thursday, May 9th, 2019, in her 95th year.

Her love of children not only made her into the incredible Mother and Oma that she was, but also led her to becoming a care giver and nanny for many years. She was very dedicated to her Religion and her Congregation. Those lucky enough to have known Aafke knew how beautiful, intelligent, kind and generous she was. She loved family, travel, knitting, cooking and baking.
