Seenie Bouwman
Nov. 10, 1929- June 12, 2025

John 3:8 – “The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So, it is with everyone born of the Spirit.”

Seenie Bouwman, 95, went to be with her Lord and Saviour June 12, 2025, in Rocky Mountain House, Alta.
Gezina (Seenie) Konynenbelt was born Nov. 10, 1929, in Nobleford, Alta. She is predeceased by her loving husband Ben F. Bouwman (Sept. 15, 2001) and infant son Henry William (April 5, 1953).

Seenie was a prairie girl, reader, gardener, baker, active church and community member, grandmother and great-grandmother, encourager, family gatherer and a preserver of food and faith. An open house policy provided endless opportunities for fellowship, food, fires and fun. With a heart for serving others, combined with love and laughter, Seenie touched many lives.

Seenie and Ben together provided a safe and trusting home to raise their children: Barrie Bouwman (Margaret), Kathy Smid (Tom), Wendy Brouwer (Garret), Kevin Bouwman (Evelyn), and Yvonne VanVeldhuisen (Richard). She was blessed with 17 grandchildren and 31 great-grandchildren.

She is survived by her sister Fanny Kuipers and sisters-in-law Carole Konynenbelt, Grace Davidson, Terry Bouwman, Virginia Bouwman, and many extended family members and friends.

We, her family, are so grateful to God for her full and rich life! The family expresses deep gratitude to Dr. Carike Dowling and mom’s caregivers at Park Avenue.

A celebration of life will be held Friday, June 20, 2025 at 1 p.m. at First Christian Reformed Church. Pastor Ken Douma presiding.
