Our dear mother Vera passed away unexpectedly in hospital from complications on Saturday February 24, 2024 at the age of 83. We her daughters (Sanja Huibner and Tina Huibner) were at her side.

One hospital doctor called our mother a warrior, which she was, as she suffered courageously through multiple medical setbacks. Vera bore her many life trials with a stoic, persevering and faithful attitude, always with hope.

Vera was a loving and devoted mother and friend to her daughters Sanja and Tina, with whom she shared her love of God, inspiring and encouraging their faith over the years. We greatly enjoyed her inquisitive nature, sharp mind and sense of humour.

She will be remembered for her love for God and for the church. Vera was a woman of great faith who strongly believed in the power of prayer. She prayed daily for the concerns and needs of others. She expressed her love for people through being encouraging, friendly and helpful.

Vera will be greatly missed by her daughters Sanja and Tina, her family in Serbia and Croatia, especially her sister Nena, her friends and neighbours.

Cremation has taken place. The funeral service will be held at Queensway Baptist Church, 950 Islington Avenue on Saturday March 16, 2024 at 11am, with a visitation time at 10am.
