Frieda, you left this world too soon, however, your bright light lives on with all of the people you have cared for. You were a rockstar nurse with an infectious laugh that I will miss hearing. To Frieda’s family and friends, I wish you comfort and healing during this difficult time.

Condolence from Lori Sims on June 2nd, 2026 8:49 AM

Dear Frances, Shirley, Teresa, Ron and Families,

I am so very sorry that Frieda is gone. She was a loyal and lifetime friend and unique person in her caring and her love of life. I didn’t get to see her often in our adult years, but when I did I was always delighted to see that she’d never changed from the kids we were together at Usborne Central School.
Hearts go out to you.

When I first met Frieda we were a couple of Dutch girls embarking on a career in nursing. Over the many years she was always a steady friend and confidant. Her family, friends and patients meant the world to her. I will truly miss my dear old friend. My condolences to her loving family.

Condolence from Shannon Dament on June 2nd, 2026 10:56 AM

My deepest condolences. Frieda was one of the most loving people I had ever had the privilege of knowing. Although she never had kids of her own, she had a very comforting and motherly nursing technique with her patients. Her humble and grateful ways, her smile and her laugh. That fantastic personality. That will all be missed. She was awesome. ❤️ good bye for now Frieda. I will miss your hugs. Xo

We met Frieda at Lakewood Christian campground. When we first purchased our trailer she hand delivered a flower decoration to us as a welcome package. We instantly hit it off. We had many fires and laughs together and I was able to have a nice boat ride under the blue water bridge with her as well. We will
Definitely miss her greatly and our condolences go out to her family, that she spoken about often with great joy. She loved her family big time!

It was a gift to have known her and she will be missed. But not forgotten! We have a few memorable photos in our photo books (when she would allow me to take one, lol).

Condolence from Deb Carter-Caslick on June 2nd, 2026 5:08 PM

Frieda & I met as Nurse Vaccinators during Covid. She simply ‘made my day’ with her humor. She especially loved the young kids, helping them get through the trauma.
We shared many cups of coffee since then.
Dear Frieda, you will be so very missed by many. Rest in peace.

Condolence from Marianne Timmerman on June 2nd, 2026 7:22 PM

I only knew Frieda for a short time. She was my team leader in the Common Plate programme. She put all her time and energy in it and the meals turned out to be great.
I will miss our chit chats.
My condolences to the entire Zandbergen family, Heaven got an other angel.

Condolence from Wendy and Scott Stafford on June 2nd, 2026 7:30 PM

Condolence from Wima deRuiter on June 3rd, 2026 12:31 PM

I meet Frieda in Saudi Arabia where we both worked as nurses. I fondly remember all the experiences and good times we had together during our time there. Although our lives took different paths we remained friends over the past 36 years. I always knew that Frieda would be there if I needed her. In every shared memory your light continues to shine my friend. Rest in peace.
