VELDMAN, Herman HERMAN VELDMAN 1932 ~ 2025 In His infinite wisdom our Saviour called Herman Veldman, beloved husband, father, Opa and brother, to his heavenly home on Thursday, June 12, 2025.
Born in Lutten, Overysel, The Netherlands on April 13, 1932, Herman immigrated to Canada at the age of 21, alongside his parents and siblings, to Southern Alberta, seeking new opportunities and a fresh start. He dedicated his life to farming and worked hard to provide for his family. A quiet and God-fearing man, he lived his life with humility, kindness and unwavering faith.
On April 23, 1971, Herman married the love of his life, Henny Maarhuis, and together they built a beautiful life raising six children. His family was his greatest joy, and his love extended to his 16 grandchildren, and one great grandchild, all of whom lovingly called him “Opa”.
Herman was a devoted member of Trinity United Reformed Church of Lethbridge, finding comfort and strength in his faith. Sundays were sacred to him, a time for worship and reflection. His passion for music led him to be an active and longtime member of the Lethbridge Christian Men’s Choir, sharing his voice in praise and fellowship. His life was a testament to hard work, faith, and love- a legacy that will live on in the hearts of all who knew him. He will be deeply missed by his wife Henny, their children, grandchildren, extended family and friends.
Besides his wife of 54 years, Henny, Herman is survived by 6 daughters Margaret (Darren) LeBlanc, Angela Veldman (Graham Waites), Martina (Trevor) Martin, Monique (Derek) Tolsma, Sharon (Josh) Korthuis and Louise Veldman; 16 grandchildren Kaisha LeBlanc (Michael Graf), Caleb LeBlanc, Rebekah LeBlanc, Judah LeBlanc, Chloe LeBlanc, Daniel Khurshid, Hannah Khurshid, Linden Martin, Alena Martin, Abigail (Hilbert) Avers, Bart Tolsma, Aiden Tolsma, Danika Tolsma, Brynlee Tolsma, Miah Korthuis, Kaylee Korthuis; one great grandchild Rowan Graf; sister Henny Veldman; brother John (Vicky) Veldman; in laws Wiebo and Erna Maarhuis, Ralph Maarhuis, John and Til Maarhuis, Andy and Jayne Maarhuis, and sister in law Aly Veldman.
Herman was predeceased by his dear son Adrian Veldman; parents Albert and Annegien Veldman; siblings Harm and Hendrika Veldman, John and Margaret Veldman, Henk Veldman: brother-in-law Harm Veldman; sister-in law Gertie Maarhuis.
