Obituary
I lift up my eyes to the hills-where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of Heaven and Earth Psalm 121:1,2 Bakker Mrs. Aaltje (Alie) "Alice" Bakker (nee: Buitenhuis) age 82 years passed away peacefully at her residence, Pioneer Ridge on February 23, 2008.

Together they immigrated to Canada, first moving to Winnipeg, then moving to Hymers where they started a dairy farm. From there, they moved to Slate River where they owned and operated another dairy farm until retirement in 1990. Aaltje worked on the farm making sure there was always coffee and food on the table and helping out with chores, feeding the calves. She loved to knit and crochet, making many beautiful bedspreads and tablecloths over the years. Gardening was another one of her pastimes, especially flowers, she had a "green thumb". She was predeceased by her husband Tjeerd (Ted) in 1999, both parents, two brothers and three sisters. She is survived by her son Aart (Debbie), daughter Linda (Lyndon), grandchildren Melissa, Travis, Jordan, Allison (Tyler), Cheryl, 2 brothers and 3 sisters, along with numerous nieces and nephews.
