She met Wiebe in the Netherlands in 1960, and immigrated to Canada in 1961 to follow the man she loved. They married in 1962. Wiebe and Froukje lived the life of dairy farmers, working hard and making a good life for the family they raised. They lived in Pitt Meadows and Dewdney before moving to Agassiz in 1979 where they still farm today. Froukje\'s passions were her flowers, vegetable garden, puzzling, and family get-togethers. Her greatest passion was her grandchildren, who she loved dearly.  Our family would like to thank the quick response of the Agassiz Ambulance Service and the Agassiz Fire Department. We also request that in lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Heart & Stroke Foundation or the BC Children\'s Hospital in her memory. <br>A viewing for family and friends was held on Friday, January 1st 2010 from 1:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m. from Henderson\'s Funeral Home, 45901 Victoria Avenue, Chilliwack.
