de VRIES, Corina Margaret (nee COLEMAN) - Born on May 12, 1937, in Cape Town, South Africa, passed from this life on May 25, 2021, in Sooke, BC, Canada.
Beloved wife for over 60 years of the late Basil Ivor de Vries, sister of Elizabeth Camm, Valerie Bowers and the late Godfrey Coleman. Devoted mother of Nicolette, Johann, Elise, Mario, Joseph, Veronica and Francoise.
Loving grandmother of 17; adoring great-grandmother of 7; "Auntie 'Reen" to numerous adoring nieces and nephews in many corners of the globe.
A woman of steadfast faith, Corina tirelessly served humanity as a mother of seven, a teacher, a health care aide, a homemaker, and a friend and companion to many.
She will be fondly remembered for her great sense of humour, her fantastic "huiskos" meals, and countless gifts she lovingly crafted for others, especially those warm and comfy "granny" socks.
Now there was a woman whose hands were never idle!
Family and friends will be notified of a Funeral Mass and interment to be held at a later date.
"Tot siens, Granny".
