It is with great sadness we announce the passing of Johanna Maria (Bouwmeister) Bentvelsen at the Meadows of Aurora.
She returned to God on December 30, 2023, at the age of 87. Johanna was a beloved mother, Oma, sister, aunt, and friend. She will be tremendously missed by all who knew and loved her. She is survived by her daughter, Tanya (Philip) Purevich; her son, Kris (Jacqueline); her four beloved grandchildren, Jared, Nicholas, Elyssa, and Savannah; her brothers, sisters, sister-in laws, nieces and nephews, as well as numerous extended family members and friends.
A funeral Mass for Johanna will be held at 11:30 am on Monday, January 15, 2024, at St. Elizabeth Seton Parish (17955 Leslie St., Newmarket), followed by a reception at the church hall.
Visitation will be held at the church for one hour before Mass, beginning at 10:30 am.
The family wishes to send a special thank you to the staff and Johanna’s friends at the Meadows, specifically to those who provided Johanna with loving care, dignity, and compassion.
