With deep sadness, we announce the sudden but peaceful passing of Zwaan at home on July 29.

Dearly loved wife of the late Egbert (Bert).
Much loved mother and mother-in-law of Liena and Wayne, Ebel and Maxine, Wilma and her partner Martin.
Treasured Nan and Great-Nan to all her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
Fondly remembered by her extended family in the Netherlands.

As per Zwaan’s wishes, a private service was held on August 1, 2025.

Rust zacht, lieve Zwaan — rest softly, dear Zwaan.
