Ria Boerkamp Passed away peacefully at Caressant Care in Listowel on May 4, 2026 at the age of 84. Beloved wife of the late Bertus Boerkamp (1991) whom she married in 1966. Loving mother of Wilfried (Nancy) Boerkamp of Chesley, Ronnie (Leslie) Boerkamp of Atwood and Brigitte (Joy) Boerkamp of Atwood. Cherished grandmother of Tonya, Crystal, Stacey, Darien, Austin, Madyson, Landon, Lucas, Aaron, Heather and great grandchildren.

Predeceased Wim, Betsie (Henk), Johan (Maria) and her parents Hendrik and Grada (Wissink) Beulink. Ria was the wheel of her family with her family members being the spokes. She provided a wonderful home for her husband Bertus and her children. She led by example: work hard, face what you are dealt and always persevere.
Her home was a welcoming place where coffee was always “On”. She helped in the barn, when she could, and made sure that everything was spotless. She had a little spoon that was always in the corner of her mouth that she would put in the corner of the cleaning cloth so she could really get into the corners. She enjoyed her trips back to Holland after she semi-retired. Her siblings and friends over there still dear to her.
The last 15 years were spent at Caressent Care in Listowel after suffering a terrible stroke. She regained a lot of her mobility but was in need of full time care. The staff at Caressent Care were an integral part in Ria living until the beautiful age of 84. Lots of bingo, blackjack were part of her life, she sure enjoyed those games. Ria was a blessing; her family was blessed.
As per her wishes, a private family funeral service will be held. Interment at Fairview Cemetery in Listowel. Donations in memory of Ria may be made to Listowel Memorial Hospital.
