Elza “Elsie” Elizabeth Ludovicus Geerts
October 27, 1925 - January 16, 2024
Born October 27, 1925, was promoted to His loving arms, on January 16, 2024, in her 99th year. Married to Frank (2006); mother to Julie (2021); Grandma to Michelle Annett and Jason (Pam) Timmermans. Great-Grandma to Marlie (Shawn) and Cole Annett, Mikayla (Connor), Sheldon (Regan), and Griffin Timmermans. Great-Great-Grandma to Rylee Timmermans and aunt to Lillian Nooren. Elsie immigrated to Canada, from Belgium, on May 27, 1957.
She lived by the Golden Rule and led by example. Elsie was gentle and kind, generous and just, forgiving and selfless. She earned the love, trust and respect of all who came to know her as “Grandma”! Her legacy is one of common decency. She resided with her granddaughter Michelle, who she always lovingly referred to as the 2 Musketeers. “Best Friends Forever and Always Grandma.”
Burial and a Celebration of Life will be held at a later date in the spring. Those wishing to make a donation in memory of Elsie are asked to consider the Canadian Cancer Society or the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada.
