In loving memory ~

Marjan Thérèse Ovinge Wikkerink went to be with her Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ on April 16, 2025.

Marjan was born on August 22, 1968 in Assen, The Netherlands to Jan and Johanna Ovinge.

She is survived by her parents Jan and Johanna, her loving husband Fred, her 3 children, Laurisa (Curtis), Breanna, Eric (Isabelle), her siblings, Harma (Hans), Gert (Monique), many Nieces and Nephews and recently welcomed grandchild, Athena.

Marjan spent the first 23 years of her life in the Netherlands where she completed her education in physiotherapy. In 1992 she moved to Vancouver Island where she worked as a physiotherapist at the Chemainus Health Care Centre for 29 years.

A few months after moving to Canada she met her future husband Fred at the Duncan Christian Reformed Church, they married July 16, 1994. 3 years later Marjan and Fred purchased and moved onto Wikksview Farm in Cobble Hill where they raised their 3 children.

Marjan was an active member of the Christian school and Church. Her family was her pride and joy. She will be remembered for the love she had for her family and her strong faith in Jesus.

Marjan passed away peacefully at home after a 4 year long courageous battle with metastatic breast cancer. Her faith and bravery were an inspiration to many. The family would like to thank the many nurses/doctors who cared for Marjan over the years.

A celebration of life will be held at 1pm on Thursday, May 1, 2025 at the Duncan Christian Reformed Church, 930 Trunk Rd, Duncan, BC.
