Dini was born in Ouddorp, the Netherlands on March 24, 1934. She immigrated to Southern Alberta in 1955. On January 10, 1958, she married Tony Vanee and together they were blessed with five children, 9 grandchildren and 6 great grandchildren. She found great joy in her grandchildren, whose presence never failed to light up her face with a smile. She cherished every opportunity to travel alongside her husband Tony, whether it was for business or leisure, creating precious memories together along the way. She was known for her warm hospitality and her love for gardening. Many community and church fundraisers benefited from mom’s gift of cooking, baking and crafting in Southern Alberta and as well with her friends in Montana. Her love for the Lord was evident in her words and actions. Her body has lost the fight, but her soul triumphs through Jesus Christ, her Saviour, whom she loved and served. Her life was a blessing to us all and her memory will leave a lasting legacy.
