Nina DEJONGHE Obituary

DEJONGHE, Nina Born: November 22, 1920, Provo, UT to Oren Anderson and Tessie (Thacker). Preceded by husband, Garvin and children, Terry and Nina. Married Garvin DeJonghe, on May 20, 1938 in Park City, UT. She wanted a family and her wish came true with 9 children, Terry (Susan), Mary (Frank) Rinaldi, Patrick (Lorie), Anthony, Nina Drew, Peter, Janet (Michael) Wright, Timothy (Cathy) and Amy (Kevin) Acorn; 20 grandchildren and 12 great- grandchildren. As an Air Force family they often moved from one part of the country to another, retiring in Tucson because they liked the people, the area and the climate. Nina volunteered at St Elizabeth of Hungry Clinic for 12 years, serving as Auxiliary President from 77-79. She was among the original Oblates at Holy Trinity Benedictine Monastery, St David, AZ, was active with the Charismatic Renewal and took a keen interest in the Jungian approach to dream work. She earned her GED at age 57 and enjoyed oil painting. For her epitaph she considered "does this mean I won't have to cook tomorrow?". See you in heaven, Mom, thanks for all the love. Have pleasant dreams! Funeral: Thursday July 6, 2017, St Pius X, Rosary/Visitation: 9:30 a.m., Mass 10:30 a.m., Reception to follow. Burial: Friday, July 7, 9:00 a.m. at East Lawn Cemetery.

Good bye, my dear friend. We had lots of chats, didn't we? Especially trying to figure out our dreams - that was fun! it . You always guided me with our Prayer Group and Seminars. I learned so much from you. Don't forget, you have to open the back door to Heaven and let me in. Then we can continue our conversations.
