April 19th, 1928 – December 28, 2017
It is with great sadness that the family announces the passing of their dear wife, mom, and oma at Strathroy Middlesex General Hospital on Thursday, December 28, 2017.

Corrie was born in Den Hague, Holland and immigrated to Canada in 1952 at the age of 24. She is the beloved wife of Gerardus “Gerry” Duynisveld for 61 years. The two of them established a thriving farm business together outside of Ilderton and began a large family of their own. Cherished mom of Leonard and Harriet (Dortmans) Duynisveld of Ilderton, Helen and Jim Christie of Tara, Margaret and Peter Brain of Grand Bend, Mary Ann Duynisveld and Peter McMullen of Sudbury, Gene Jones of Sault Ste. Marie, and Connie Fuller of London. Loving Oma of Krista (Craig) Hulshof, Janice (Paul) Duynisveld, Anthony Duynisveld, Jerry (Julia) Duynisveld; Jennifer, Mike (Jenn), and Trevor Christie; Duncan, and Martha Brain; Logan Jones; Corben, Gradon, and Jack Fuller.

Dear sister of John Al, Tiny Wessels, Helen and John Ryan, Bart Al, Hank and Cheryl Al, Joe and Jaquie Al, Tony and Vera Al and sister-in-law of Elaine Al, Margaret Al, and Sharon Wingenbach.
