WILLEMTJE "WINNIE" KORVER (NEE BOSMA) passed away at the Chinook Regional Hospital on Thursday, January 13, 2022 at the age of 85 years, surrounded by her sons. 

She was the beloved spouse of the late Case Korver for almost 60 years.  She was a dear Mother, Grandmother and Great-Grandmother to Nick & Greta (Erik & Brittany, William, Makenna) (Jenessa & Marco), Harry & Sharon (Jaylen & Laura) (Kendra & Justin), Randy & Lisa (Reed) (Bethany) (Elaina).  She is also survived by her brothers Fred (Margaret) Bosma and Andy (Nellie) Bosma, brothers-in-law Bill (Hilda) Korver and Arie (Bev) Korver, sisters-in-law Ann Korver & Hennie Korver, as well as numerous nieces & nephews. 

She was predeceased by her parents Andries (Andrew) & Lampkje Bosma, sister & brother-in-law Louis & Betty Brandsma, brother Herman Bosma, sister Janet Bosma, sister-in-law Anne Bosma, Father & Mother-in-law Nicholas & Grace Korver, brothers-in-law Cor Korver, Nick Korver, sister and brother-in-law Grace & Morris Maheux, and nephews Grant Maheux and Paul Korver.

Winnie was born on May 15, 1936 in Katwijk, Friesland. At the age of 14, the Bosma family immigrated to Southern Alberta in 1950. 

In March 1962, she married Case Korver and they were blessed with 3 sons. They farmed north of Coaldale until they moved to Coaldale in 1996. In December 2020, they moved to Elim Village in Lethbridge.

Winnie was a faithful member of the Christian Reformed Church. She was a house cleaner to various families for many years in Lethbridge and Coaldale. She loved to bake, knit blankets for family members and Blankets for Canada, and reading.  She loved when her family came for visits (especially the grandchildren) or going for a day trip or drive with Dad in the countryside.

She will be dearly missed and fondly remembered by her family and all who knew her. The family would like to thank all the staff & residents of Elim Village for assisting Mom over the past three months, and to the Doctors and nurses at the hospital for their care. 

A Private Family Graveside Service will be held at Mountain View Cemetery on Wednesday, January 19, 2022.  Following this service, a public Worship Service will be held at the NOBLEFORD CHRISTIAN REFORMED CHURCH - 522 Highway Ave, Nobleford, AB at 1:30 PM with Pastor Frank Lanting officiating.  The Worship Service will be livestreamed and may be accessed via Winnie's obituary on the Cornerstone website as well as via the church's website or by using the link: https://youtu.be/VlW66VoWc4o
