JONKER, Nicolette M. (1944-2006)
Surrounded by family, Nicolette passed away peacefully at Saint Michael's Hospital Palliative Care Unit on July 4, 2006, after a valiant struggle with cancer. She will be forever missed by her life partner and best friend Mike HRYSZKO. Predeceased by her parents, Garrelt and Margaretha JONKER. Survived by siblings: Ena VAN ROOYEN (John), Gus (Tina), Tina GOLDIN (Bill), Vince (Edwina), and Carla (Tim GARRISON) and their families in Canada and the United States. Fondly remembered by her extended family and Friends in Holland. Nicolette was born in Vleuten, Holland and emigrated to Canada with her parents in 1957, only to return a few years later to study, work and live there until 1978. Returning to Canada as a Registered Nurse, she cared for patients in many hospitals but longest of all at Toronto's Saint Michael's, her favourite. Her caring attitude endeared her to her patients who were her greatest source of personal and professional satisfaction. Nicolette will be remembered by her nursing colleagues for her conscientious professionalism, tireless dedication and independent mind. To stay current in her profession, she obtained a Bachelor of Arts in Health Studies from York University in 1994. Always the caregiver, that attitude remained with her even as she became a patient herself. During her illness, Nicolette's many Friends and family lent a helping hand with home duties and driving to medical appointments. She had a gift for Friendship which was returned in abundance. The family would like to thank all of those Friends who were always there when needed. Special thanks to Doctors V. CELLARIUS and J. ARVANITIS of Mt. Sinai Hospital, and staff of the Community Care Access Centre who provided the excellent care which permitted her to stay at home for a long time. A heart felt thank you to Doctor Ellen WARNER of Sunnybrook Hospital for years of compassionate care. Thank you to Doctor HAQ and staff of the Medical Day Care Unit and the staff of the Palliative Care Unit of Saint Michael's Hospital who so ably provided compassionate care in the final stages of her illness. The spiritual guidance given by Pastor John TENYENHUIS was enormously helpful and very much appreciated. Cremation having taken place, a Memorial Celebration will be held at the Christian Reformed Church, 800 Burnhamthorpe Rd, Etobicoke on August 11th at 2: 00 p.m. If desired, donations in memory of Nicolette M. JONKER may be made to the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation for breast cancer research at www.cbcf.org or call 1-866-373-6313 ext. 350
