BOLINK, Lambertus “Bert”

LAMBERTUS “BERT” BOLINK 1936 ~ 2026 “It is well with my soul.” Safe in the arms of Jesus, Bert Bolink, beloved husband of the late Gert (Schiebout) Bolink, formerly of Nobleford, AB, went home to his Lord and Saviour. Born February 22, 1936, in the Netherlands, he passed away April 20, 2026, in Lethbridge, AB, at the age of 90 years.
Bert is survived by his children: Brenda & Erik Vreeken, Gary & Evelyn Bolink, Sharon Bolink, Chris & Kathleen Bolink, and their families.
Bert was born in the Netherlands. He immigrated to Canada with his parents at the end of WWII. The family settled in Nobleford, AB, area. Bert and Gert made their home and life together in the Nobleford area, farming for many years before retiring to Nobleford.
Bert’s bright blue eyes and infectious smile drew people in as he regaled them with detailed stories of the past. He was a loving, gentle, faith-filled, Christ-like father/patriarch and example, a peppermint and ice-cream with coffee dessert eating “Opa” and “Great-Opa” to many children, a brother, cousin, and friend to many. He cherished ALL his friends at Balmoral House. Bert lived a long, good life and taught us many things, most importantly to follow God wholeheartedly.
As Bert’s body began to fail, he reassured his children and grandchildren with these words: “I love you. It’s o.k. I’m going Home.”
“I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord will award to me on that day.” 2 Timothy 4:7-8a Those who wish to make memorial donations are invited to give to Elim Society – Balmoral House.
