Justina Bergen
January 15th, 1934 ~ December 29th, 2024
Justina passed away peacefully surrounded by her family in the early hours of December 29,2024
She was born in Rabbit Lake Saskatchewan the ninth of twelve children, into a family rooted in kindness, faith and hard work. Her early years were filled with memories of farm life, horse drawn buggies and music-a passion that brought her happiness throughout her life.
A dedicated mother and grandmother, Justina delighted in cooking, singing and nurturing family traditions. Her cinnamon buns were legendary, a testament to her love expressed through the meals she prepared.
Her faith was a guiding force throughout her life, evidenced through her service at Kamloops Alliance Church in many ways.
Justina is survived by her husband, Henry; children Cliff(Donna), Ruth(Barry), Doris(Randy) and Donna(Raul). She also leaves behind 10 grandchildren and 12 great-grandchildren.
Her optimism, kindness and unwavering faith leave a lasting legacy, and an enduring example of love.
A Memorial Service will be held January 27th at 11 Am at the Northview Community Church 32040 Downes Road, Abbotsford BC.

Aunt Justina was truly special—a woman whose quick smile and sharp wit could brighten any room. Her faith was not just something she professed; it was evident in every interaction, radiating grace and kindness. She lived a rich and vibrant life, remaining steadfast in both challenges and blessings. While I never lived close enough to experience her daily impact, her loss is deeply felt, and I know it is even more profoundly mourned by the family, her grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. May God provide you all sufficient strength, and abundant comfort as you grieve her remarkable life and as you also support Uncle Henry through this difficult time.
Sympathies to all the family. Justina was a special person and have many great memories from the care group, prime time and various trips. Hugs to all.
I have many sweet memories Aunt Justina, most of them including her baking (especially her famous buns). She was always cheerful, even if she had good reasons not to be cheerful. I’m so sorry she’s gone.
