Tjitska Theadora “Thea” Kranzo peacefully passed on surrounded by her beloved family and dogs at home on Friday She was born to Gonnie Konneman Siekmans and the late Tjitze Siekmans in Hoogezand-Sappemeer Thea frequently recounted her habitual bicycle rides to work and to school while cherishing the seasons when the weather would allow her to ice skate on the canals to neighboring towns Her energetic movement nurtured in her young years paralleled with her holistically spiritual grounding captivated the essence of her very being throughout her lifetime Thea had the innate courage to come to the United States speaking barely any English her life in America began with the genuine embrace of Wegmans Her native Dutch and German tongues were wholly respected until Thea eagerly learned English through coworkers and shoppers alike Accomplishing American citizenship and learning to drive stateside was a marvelous feat Three families shaped Thea’s story: her heritage in the Netherlands To be a gateway to joy was Thea’s subconscious aura She touched thousands of people’s lives; pointedly Thea created her own ‘care cards’ at home to place in shoppers’ grocery bags to brighten their days at work “Have a nice day” or whimsical messages to home shoppers had no intentions other than to lighten another’s load Thea was chronically donating her own children’s clothes to other employees who she knew needed that bit of help There was not a heart Thea didn’t love she went the extra mile without a care for one’s preconceived role There were no barriers in Thea’s mind Thea enjoyed backpacking in the Adirondacks She read and re-read the Michael and Kathleen Greer series in Dutch to no end only to be more committed to her impressive Hay Day mobile gaming she achieved elite records and shared her winnings with others International friendships were born out of her gaming connections Thea’s kindness toward others permeated into the earth She had an affinity for gardening and took pleasure in hours of weeding Thea’s radiant air of bequeathing energy will be deeply missed by her adored husband Gea (Lammert) and Demelza (Robert); her nieces and nephews It deserves mention that Thea was a spiritual person as she believed in the grandeur of the person in the mirror Thea stayed spiritually true to the Netherlands way – ‘Hoop Geloof en Liefde’ – Hope Continue to spread Thea’s light with this truth The family will receive friends for a time of visitation from 3-6 pm Wednesday memorials may be made to your favorite charity in support of animals an organization that assists in preserving local trails Copyright © 2025 Ogden Newspapers of New York | https://www.post-journal.com | PO Box 3386 has signed an irrevocable commitment to acquire 100% of the share capital of Fineska B.V. is a vehicle controlled by the US investment firm Andlinger & Co  The Eska Group is a global leader in the production of solid board based on 100% recycled fibers in its two factories located in The Netherlands (in Sappemeer and Hoogezand) with an overall installed yearly capacity of 290,000 tons Solid-board applications range from luxury packaging to bookbinding With headquarters in Sappemeer (The Netherlands) has three service centres with cutting and warehouse activities respectively in the Unites States It also has commercial offices in the UK and Hong Kong The transaction closing is expected to occur no later than July 31 subject to the aforementioned completion of the consultation procedures in The Netherlands and fulfilment of certain conditions precedent CEO of RDM Group stated: “This transaction is consistent with the growth strategy we had set forth It offers us new development opportunities on a broader geographical scale reinforcing the resilience of our Group performances Eska’s product line focuses on specialty grades we aim at implementing the same strategic multi-mill approach that has yielded visible benefits in our core WLC business.”  The Reno De Medici Group is the leading Italian and second-ranked European producer of cartonboard made of recycled fibers material operating also in the manufacturing of virgin cartonboard Die Publikation der Informationen von dieser Website ist ohne vorherige Zustimmung von Lesprom strengst verboten Softwarelizenzvertrag und Datenschutzrichtlinie Yarra Junction resident Henk Boer is publishing an autobiography that will be launched at Milwarra Primary School hall on Saturday 22 June at 2pm Mr Boer’s family arrived in Australia from Netherlands 69 years ago from May seeking a new life away from post-WWII Europe Mr Boer’s book details his life story which includes growing up in the 1930s and 1940s in Sappemeer a small town 30 kilometres away from Nazi Germany’s border “I started by looking at the history of the town where I lived called Sappemeer which translates to swamp lake,” he said “My very early personal recollections are from the world wide depression and the second world war which made a very big impact on me … I had very little schooling as a result.” Mr Boer said that his family witnessed the realities and horrors of the bloodiest war in the history of mankind His school sat alongside a railway line that was used to transport thousands of Jews to concentration camps Despite Netherlands being liberated in 1945 while the potential threat of a Soviet invasion was enough for the Boer family to travel by boat to Australia Mr Boer landed in Fremantle five weeks later where he found work in a bakery just one day after landing in the new country His family eventually settled in Wandin where he met his wife Gwen and went on to own Warburton’s first takeaway food store a fish and chip shop called Boer Bros Food Wholesalers Mr Boer welcomes those interested to come along to his book launch in Millgrove which he said will feature many elements of Dutch culture He hopes that readers can walk away with a strong sense of family values Yarra Ranges Councillor Jim Child will be in attendance to launch the book and Andy Bennett will be the MC for the day His autobiography features over 600 historical photographs which will be available on a DVD included with each purchase of the book For more information on how to purchase a copy of ‘The Autobiography of Hendrik Boer: A Lifetime of Experiences and Memories’
