Schulte Eveline

It is with sorrow and relief that we announce the passing of Eveline Schulte on

December 30, 2018 as she took her last breath calmly and peacefully with her

family by her side.

Widowed to Derick Brenninkmeijer in 1990, Eveline lived alone in Oakville before

getting remarried to Dick Schulte in 2007. She had a wide group of friends both

from the Oakville golf club and her special bridge partners. How much bridge was

mastered is questionable but she enjoyed the game and the company. She always

loved to be involved with the events organized by the Dutch community.

Eveline wore an elegance and finesse throughout her life which, like loose silk,

weaved it's way through all she did. Hers was a home kept where a welcoming

smile and a warm cup of her famous soup awaited any and all who entered. Hers

was a care and pride in the places she lived, the home she made and the people

she met along the way, be it in Holland, New York, Los Angeles, England, Montreal

or Oakville. Her cuisine was legendary. Each dish was very much a reflection of

herself - simple, elegant, welcoming.

Born May 20th 1940 in Tilburg, The Netherlands, Eveline was the fourth child of

Willem and Noor van der Lande and sister to Gaby, Beatrice, Carla and her brother

Fré. Her sense of perfection was equally matched by her strong will and devotion.

As a woman of faith, her daily decisions came from an inner strength of conviction

and principle which she lived out in her own unique way.

The best thing that she left behind for us was her example. She gave of herself

endlessly and always had a hand extended to those in need, her generosity

extended to family and friends in need as well as the many charitable

organizations both here and abroad. She was a fighter and followed her beliefs

throughout her life.

There can only be joy in knowing that hers was a life well-lived. There were so

many moments of joy and laughter along with many challenges and we can only

be thankful that she is now joined with God in eternity.

Eveline leaves behind her husband, Dick, along with Roger and Stephen her sons,

their wives Danja and Alba, stepdaughters Fiona, her husband Jeff, Carol and

Franca and ten grandchildren.
