Irene was a valued and admired member of the Brush and Palette Club.
Her artworks and talents were amazing! She inspired us all to paint.
She was a friendly welcoming bright light, always with a smile and a word of encouragement.
She will be greatly missed.

Deepest Condolences to Uncle Bernie, John, Ron and Monique and family. Tante Irene was always so special to me and I have many happy memories of the times we spent together, especially visiting with my family when we were kids in St. Boniface on New Year’s Day when she would make Leukken, the best I have ever had. She was a wonderful cook, seamstress, artist and was always so welcoming to everyone. She truly was one of a kind and will be missed by many.

My friendship with Irene goes back many years to the time we met taking art classes.
Eventually we joined the Art Circle and painted weekly up until this past October. She
Was a very talented artist and she will be missed.
Bernie and I send our sincere sympathy to Bernie and all the family.

Our sincere condolences to Bernie, John, Ron, Monique and family. Our families spent many visits and meals together when you lived on Dugald Rd., Winnipeg. Irene was a very talented woman. When we visited with Bernie and Irene in London in the 90's, Irene had my daughters painting lawn ornaments. May God's strength be with you.

My heartfelt condolence to Irene's husband Bernie and their family. I always looked forward to seeing Irene at our meetings at the Dutch Club. She always greeted me with such warmth that made me feel like I was part of her family. I always enjoyed our conversations. She had such a lovely personality. She will be greatly missed by everyone who had the opportunity to know her. You are in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. Corinne Wester

Hallo oom Bernard en familie,
Gecondoleerd met het verlies van tante Irene. Wat een gemis dat tante Irene er niet meer is! We hadden geregeld mail contact met elkaar, heel leuk om te lezen hoe het met jullie ging en de foto's en filmpjes die ze stuurde. Knap ook dat ze dat op deze leeftijd dat nog heeft geleerd! Ze was erg trots op haar achterkleinkind en stuurde geregeld foto's van haar. We hebben een foto bijgevoegd. 1 van de laatste die ze mailde. Ook vertelde ze in haar laatste mail dat ze leuk nieuws had, dat er nog een achterkleinkind op komst was.
We wensen jullie heel veel sterkte en liefs toe! Oom Bernard we leven heel erg met je mee vanaf deze afstand...
René en Suzan, Demi, Sven Groot Koerkamp

Sending our deepest sympathies to Bernie and family.
Irene was one of the first people that I met in the Brush and Palette Club. She was always kind and generous with everyone, and certainly made me feel welcome. I always enjoyed our chats and visits to her home. We were once lucky enough to receive some of Irene's delicious tomato sauce. We have many good memories of Irene.

Uncle Bernie, John, Ron and Monique,
I offer you my deepest sympathy, and I wish that God provides comfort to you in this time of loss.
Tante Irene painted a picture of Michael and Stephen at Port Stanley Beach in 2007 (see photo), and this is still hanging up in our dining room to this day! Martina and I had the opportunity to visit her and Uncle Bernie in the summer of 2019. Both were very welcoming, and we had a chance to see firsthand her many talents, along with their amazing back yard. Tante Irene will be missed.
Richard, Martina, Michael and Stephen

Aunt Iréne was the sister of Thérèse, her oldest sister, my mother.
Aunt Iréne was my godmother. Because she lived in Canada with her family, I only met her a few times. When she came to Belgium I saw her for a few hours each time.
Nevertheless there was a good bond and it seemed as if I knew her permanently.
In 2001 I was finally able to visit her in London. What a warm welcome we had from her and the whole family.
Aunt Iréné and uncle Bernie did some nice daytrips with us (see photo) and we could sleep with her during our stay.
Later on, The computer era had entered the GrootKoerkamp household and we were able to Skype with each other.
Aunt Iréne was very versatile, from sewing clothes, gardening to painting and computing. she was with the times.
I never thought I would have to say goodbye to her so suddenly.
Rony and I sincerely share in the loss of such a lovely lady.
We wish Uncle Bernie and the family a lot of strength in this sad time.
Aunt Iréne will live on in our hearts forever.
Love Rony and Nelly
