Tina (Albertina) Bos
January 26th, 2019
With great sadness we announce the sudden passing of Tina (Albertina) Bos; Beloved Mother, Oma, and great Omi. Survived by her 3 children; Hans (Ingrid), Ron (Colleen), and her daughter, Liz (Larry); Grandchildren Desiree (Steve), Blake (Catriona), Gabrielle (Bryan), Mieka, Scott, and Anika; Great grandchildren Koen, Jackson, Everett, and Eliana.
Tina was born in Westzaan, Netherlands. She immigrated to Canada in 1958 with her husband, Joe, and their two young sons. Becoming homesick, they moved back to Muiderberg, Holland where Tina's third child was born. With an adventurous spirit, she and Joe moved their young family back to BC in 1963 where they settled in the Fleetwood area.
Tina spent the majority of her working years with Burnaby Lake Greenhouses where she was known as the "Violet Lady". In retirement, Tina volunteered for Surrey Memorial Hospital knitting baby hats for the maternity ward (hat lady).
Her many friends and family know her as a very "special" lady, full of life and love, humour, and the best stories!
We wish to invite all whose lives she touched to join us in celebration of her life

We attended the service however could not stay to give our condolences to the family. It was a lovely service fitting of a beautiful lady. We were glad to have known Tina as a neighbour and were happy that we had her over several times a year for Christmas gatherings and our summer BBQ. It was always a joy to be in her company. We will surely miss her. You will never forget someone like her, she gave us so much to remember. Our hearts truly go out to those of you that were closest to her.
