Bea Jager Obituary
1927 - 2017
"Together Again"
Bea Lim de Jager, age 90, loving mother, grandmother and great grandmother, passed away peacefully of natural causes.
She was born in Cibinong, Indonesia to Eddy Lim and Hendrika Harmsen, and was married to Jacob de Jager in Jakarta, Indonesia.
Bea studied in the Netherlands to become an English teacher and successfully taught in her homeland for several years before returning to Holland with her husband.
They were baptized into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Toronto, Canada and sealed as a family in the Bern, Switzerland temple.
Her life was dedicated to teaching, Church service, and supporting her husband through 30 moves during his business career and church service as a General Authority, and charitable and humanitarian efforts.
While traveling with her husband, she would always give her testimony in the native language of the people, whether Tagalog, Thai, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Indonesian, or Spanish. The church members were grateful for this special gesture.
She was preceded in death by her eternal companion Jacob de Jager, parents, and sister.
She is survived by her brother Guy Lim, two children, Michael de Jager, and Audrey Poulson (Ron). Eight grandchildren: Natalie de Jager, Chelsea Webb (Jay), Megan Redd (Jeremy), Jessica de Jager, Joshua Poulson (Jolee), David Poulson (Alana), Rachel Stephenson (Andrew), and Michelle Bracken (Daniel). Five great grandchildren: Max, Brennan, Maddix, Kinleigh, Rocco, and Elenor.
We would like to thank Rocky Mountain Care and Hospice for their love, care, and support of our mother. We also wish to express our heartfelt appreciation to Kirsten Hansen who was mother's loyal friend and assistant for nearly 20 years.

Dear Audrey and Michael,
We are very sorry to hear of the passing of your dear mother. We knew her and your dad when they lived in The Netherlands. They were such a sweet couple and always so kind. May the Holy Ghost comfort you at this time of loss. Our prayers are with you.

I met Elder deJaeger twice, once in California and in Utah. I never met Be a. I knew their son Mike quite well. Death is not an end. So the best I can offer is condolences on this side of the veil until we meet again and anew.
