Stanley (Sake) Postma

Obituary of Stanley (Sake) Postma

Born January 21, 1932, died March 25, 2021 at Orchard Terrace Care Centre in Stoney Creek,  Ontario in his 90th year. Stanley was the beloved and devoted husband of Helen Marion Victoria (nee Hartwell)  throughout their marriage of more than 66 years. He was father to Marjorie (Russell) Cowper, John (Lynn) Postma, Lewis  Postma, Marion (Samuel) Salmon and Lisa Robitaille. The family grew to include 9 grandchildren, 11 great-grandchildren  and 2 great-great-grandchildren. He is survived by his siblings Jan and Johanna Postma of the Netherlands.  

Stanley emigrated to Ontario from the Netherlands as a young man. He met and married Helen Hartwell and worked  hard in the steel mill to care for his growing family’s needs. He was known to many as a kind, caring and generous man  always looking out for others’ needs. He was passionate about sharing the good news of God’s Kingdom with his  neighbours. After retirement he enjoyed tending to his gardens as well as travelling with his dear wife.  

Stanley was appreciative of all those who provided care for him, including his doctors, pharmacists, the staff of Orchard  Terrace Care Centre and his fellow residents as well as those who continue to care for his dear Helen.  

A Memorial service will be held via Zoom, on Saturday, April 17, 2021 at 2:00pm. Please contact the family to receive the zoom link.
