Jane Eshuis Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Gillies Funeral Home & Cremation Services - Lynden on Dec. 16, 2025.
Jane Eshuis, while sleeping peacefully and surrounded by family, was welcomed into Jesus' arms on December 13, 2025. She was born July 25, 1956, to Henry and Augustina (VanZanten) Berendsen in Bellingham, WA. Jane was the only girl of five children.
In February of 1974 Jane started dating Galen Eshuis, they were married November 1 of that same year. They shared 51 wonderful years, building a beautiful family and life together.
Jesus came to earth to serve and that's how Jane lived her life. Serving others. Mostly with food and a welcoming hug. Always caring for her family and those around her. There was always an open invitation on her Birch Bay deck. There was always room for one more. Her kindness shown in the way she lived, and her thoughtfulness will be missed by everyone who knew her.
Jane is survived by her husband, Galen Eshuis. Her children, Julie (Cory) Feenstra, Michael (Stephanie) Eshuis, and Karla Mellema. Her grandchildren Madison (Blake), Tanner, Samantha, Kayden, Grace, Lily, Ellie, and Elijah. As well as her great grandchildren Liam and Jane.
Services are still being planned and will be posted for a later date.
Funeral arrangements are entrusted to Gillies Funeral Home and Cremation Services.

Galen and family.. I am so sorry and saddened to hear of Jane's passing. She was such a strong, beautiful woman, always giving from her heart, a true servant and loving every minute of it. She filled the room with joy, caring and love. Indeed a servant from her heart. She will be missed deeply. God bless.
