Marianne Gerda Willis (Vroom)
August 9th, 1949 – August 8th, 2013
After a short but courageous battle with cancer, our dearest mom, wife and oma passed away peacefully with family at her side. Marianne is survived by her loving and devoted husband of 41 years Bob, her three children Jeff (Cathy), Kevin (Lindsey) and Mike (Erin), seven grandchildren Tyler, Logan, Hayley, Ava, Emery, Kaylin and Kylie, brothers John K, Hank (Arleen), John (Rita), and sister Stella. Marianne’s family also consists of many nieces, nephews, brother/sister in-laws & friends, all of whom she cared about deeply. She is pre-deceased by her parents Jan and Trientje and her sister Anne. Born in Groningen (Netherlands), she moved to Canada at an early age with her family. Marianne graduated from St. Pauls Nursing School and married Bob, the love of her life, one year later. She had a passion for golf with her friends, fishing with Bob, travelling and spoiling her grandchildren who all loved their Oma.
