Obituary of Martha Philomena Gubbels

Martha Philomena Gubbels, formally Van Deven (nee Aarts) passed away peacefully on May 15th, 2024. Beloved wife of the late John Van Deven and the late Cleo Gubbels. Cherished mother of Anthony (Ruth), Wilma, Trudy (Majeed), Leon † (Alex), Eric (Angie), and Christine (Tracey). Dear stepmother of Hugh, Rosemary (Philip), Cleo (Maria), Joann (Harry), Maryann (Vince), Joseph † (Betty), Leoni (Claude), Dinah (Neil), and Carl (Joanne). Loving Oma of 17 grandchildren, seven great-grandchildren, and several step grandchildren and step greatgrandchildren. Martha will also be missed by her extended family and her many dear friends. 

Martha was born in the town of Liessel in the Netherlands.  Together with her parents and three siblings she immigrated to Canada in 1955.  Martha stayed connected to her Dutch roots through her family and friends.  Martha’s family was the most important thing in the world to her. She never tired of seeing her relatives.  The more the merrier.  

Martha had the gift of making people feel loved with her kind words and fun-loving sense of humour.  

Martha enjoyed being part of the choir at All Saints Roman Catholic Church and she loved spending time with her church community. She will be missed by all who knew her. 

Family and friends will be received at DENNING’S OF STRATHROY on Friday, May 17th, 2024 from 1-3 and 6-8 PM. A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at All Saints Roman Catholic Church, Strathroy on Saturday, May 18th, 2024 at 11 AM. Interment to follow at All Saints Roman Catholic Cemetery.
