Obituary of Audrey Faasse

Audrey Faasse passed away peacefully on Saturday, August 8, 2020 after celebrating her 84th birthday on August 3rd. Predeceased by her husband John Faasse, she will be dearly missed by her daughter Sharon, son-in-law Graeme, granddog Maggie, the extended Lawson family and many nieces and nephews. Born in Rotterdam to Arie and Goverina van Krimpen Mol, Adrie was adored by her older sisters Ans and Riet and later by her big brother-in-law Aad van Leeuwen. Frequent visits to Holland throughout her life kept the family ties strong. A knack for numbers led to a career in bookkeeping with over 25 years of service at Norman Wade Co, a job she loved. She enjoyed sailing at CBYC and was a skilled Scrabble and cardplayer. Deep gratitude to the caregivers at Leaside Retirement residence for their compassionate care over the past 4 years that undoubtedly extended her life. Throughout it all, she retained her great sense of humour and quick wit. Due to COVID restrictions, visitation will belimited to immediate family and friends. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Alzheimer Society would be appreciated.https://thebao.ca/registrars-directive-changes-to-funeral-and-visitation-attendance/Effective immediately – Subject to certain conditions, the COVID-19 maximum attendancerestriction allows for 30 per cent capacity for indoor funerals andvisitations.MASKS ARE MANDATORY FOR ALL THOSE IN ATTENDANCE The Sailor's PrayerLord, hear my prayer,send your angels,to guard well, we sailors,serving in your fleet,protect us from harm or defeat,give us guidance and wisdom,to pursue diplomacy, instead of war,peace, instead of hatred,life, over death,when I die, permit me appear firstat your gate,allow the devil, to think, I am late,and, before he realizes his mistake,grant me entrance, and assign me to serve,life eternal, in your heavenly fleet require(["jquery", "moment"], function ($, moment) { $(".moment__local").each(function (index) { var dt = moment.utc($(this).attr("title")).local(); $(this).text(dt.format("dd-MMM-yyyy")); }); }) Posted by Johann Larkin | 03-Oct-2020 I am so sorry to hear about your loss. Audrey was a kind, loving and beautiful person. I remember especially, the time when she visited my mother when my stepfather died, and how she tenderly cared for my sister and I when my mother was grieving. My deepest condolences to your family at this time of grief. The world was better because of Audrey. - love, Johann View More Posted by marlene hamilton | 24-Aug-2020 So very sorry for your loss Sharon, your Mother and I enjoyed 25 years together @ NWCL colleges and friends.
