Peacefully, at South Huron Hospital, Exeter with family at her side on Thursday, January 24, 2008, the Lord took to himself our beloved mother, grandma, sister and friend: Jennie (Bakker) Miedema, of Exeter and formerly of RR 1 Bayfield at the age of 79. Predeceased by her husband of 54 years, Andrew Miedema in August, 2006. Loving mother of Tettie Rooke of London, Mike and Diana Miedema of Port Stanley and Bernie and Marsha Miedema of Exeter.

Sister of Bernie and Christine Bakker of Strathroy. Although she struggled with cancer a good portion of her life, she continued to stay positive and found her comfort and strength in Psalm 31, Verses 14 & 15. “But I trust in you, O Lord; I say, “You are my God”, my times are in your hands”.
