Maretina "Tina" Heilker passed away peacefully on February 10, 2023, in Tsawwassen, B.C., at the age of 91. She was born May 5, 1931, in Rotterdam, The Netherlands.
She will be dearly missed by her six children, John, Bill, Maja, Donna, Carmen and Bob; thirteen grandchildren; eight great-grandchildren; and many friends and family in Canada and the Netherlands.
She is predeceased by her husband, Johan "Jan" Frederik Heilker.
Tina was a great storyteller - one of her best memories was when Holland was liberated on her 14th birthday. She said, "It was the best party ever."
On behalf of the family, we want to thank the staff at the Delta Hospital with a special thanks to Dr. Fletcher.
There will be no funeral service as per her wishes.
