Jenny Howse Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers from Jun. 26 to Jun. 28, 2010.
HOWSE, Jenny (nee Slaa) It is with great sadness that on June 25, 2010 we had to say goodbye to a wonderful mother, friend and sister. Born in Rotterdam, Netherlands in 1938, Jenny came to Canada at aged ten and she lived the rest of her life in Calgary. She worked in accounting and travelled the world, yet she was most proud of her home and family. Jenny was a warm and caring person who had many friends and a full life of fun and laughter. Jenny will be greatly missed by her daughters Cindy (Nick), Kathy, Jennifer and her grandchildren, Savannah, Cache, Hailey, Averi and Jordan. Jenny will also be missed by her special friend and companion Robert Shaw. She is survived by her sister Joan Heuver (Henry) and brothers Peter Slaa and Robert Slaa. Jenny is predeceased by her parents Arie and Jean Slaa. Donations in Jenny's name can be made to Ovarian Cancer Canada. Funeral will be held on Tuesday, June 29 at 2:30 p.m. at McInnis & Holloway, Fish Creek Chapel, 14441 Bannister Road S.E. Phone: 403-256-9575.

Thank you Bob for keeping mom's legacy alive. Averi and I miss her too everyday. It is not getting easier but we are finding ways to build a life without her.

Please accept my heartfelt condolences in the passing of your mother Jenny. I know the surge of various feelings and emotions you must be going thru, having lost my mother 4 years ago. Please remember she would want you to continue on and make her proud as I'm sure you all have. Life does go on eventually as hard and trying as it may seem at times. We will all meet once again in "the next chapter".
Much love and sincerely,
Sharon Pearson(Yuskow)

You will be missed by the many people who were lucky to have known you. You were an amazing lady.

Although we didn't know Jenny well,I will remember her saying hello and striking up a conversation with my little boys. In the summer we'd visit on the front lawn. Our deepest sympathy to the family.

Dear Jenny who was always smiling and happy. I will miss your words of wisdom and your great story telling. Although we knew you for only a short time it seemed to be a very happy time for you and we feel very lucky to have known you. When my daughter gets older and asks where the beautiful keepsake plate came from I will tell her it came from a beautiful friend who was taken away far too soon. But yet we can't forget Cuba! The sand, the sun and the smiles.

Love always,

Our heartfelt sympathy goes out to all of the family. Jenny was a kind, sweet person and we will miss her.

It is with great sadness that we must say, "goodbye Jenny." Although goodbyes are difficult in life, they are tempered with the knowledge of knowing and loving you.
As a tribute I would like the thank-you for your guidance, your care, and your acceptance. This allowed our families to flourish in celebration together. These memories of picnics, camping, birthday parties, Christmas Eve and New years, are treasured events and traditions that have shaped us and our families for years to come.
We will always love and remember you, rest peacefully my friend.
