Pauline van Lier

1944 - 2016

Pauline (Oort) van Lier, aged 72, died peacefully on the evening of Wednesday, November 16th, 2016 at the long-term care residence of the CSSS Memphrémagog, after a long struggle with vascular dementia. Pauline was born in Wageningen, the Netherlands (1944) and immigrated to Canada in 1970 to start a life in North Hatley shortly thereafter. Pauline was a devoted wife to husband Johan van Lier, a dedicated mother to her three children Annika (Luke), Erik (Geneviève) and Olivier ­(Lindsay); and a loving grandmother to her eight grandchildren, Anna, ­Alexandre, Ezra, Noah, Anya, Petra, Phoebe and Mabel. Pauline is survived by her older brother Arend Oort (Magda). Pauline was an active member in her community, often volunteering with organizations such the NHRS, public ­library and UU church of North Hatley. She was an artist with a passion for stencilling and truly enjoyed gardening. She will be missed dearly.

Please join us for a gathering in memory of a beautiful person. A tribute to ­celebrate her life will be held at the Unitarian Universalist church of North Hatley, Sunday November 20 at 2 p.m.

The family wishes to express their sincere gratitude for the love and care Pauline received at the CSSS Memphrémagog. Donations to the Fondation de l'Hopital Memphrémagog – Hébergement, 50, rue St-Patrice Est, Magog, J1X 3X3, would be appreciated.

~Lieve Pauline, lieve moeder en grootmoeder, rust in vrede.~
