It is with sadness that we announce the peaceful passing of Elisabeth Maaike Ebbett, 97, of Charlottetown and formerly of Sackville, N.B., at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Charlottetown on Tuesday, January 30, 2024.  Born in Waalwijk, Netherlands, Els was a daughter of the late Bastiaan Cornelius and Maria (Verbeek) Millenaar

She was a very talented artist and made a strong and positive impression on everyone she met.  She had a special bond with the many cats and dogs in her life and they all loved her right back.  She also had a green thumb and always surrounded herself with plants and beautiful flowers.

She will be dearly missed by her sons and daughters, Donald (Don) VanDyke (Brenda), High Prairie, AB, Maria Gwendolyn (Gwen) (Bradd Burningham) Windsor, ON, Shelley Elisabeth (Garry Wood), Charlottetown, PE, Earl David (Dave), Bear Lake, BC; grandchildren, Maaike, Kerry, Kyle: great-grandchildren, Lucy, Leni, Patricio, Luna, Theodore, Gavin.  Besides her parents, she was predeceased by her husband Claude VanDyke; her eldest son Wendell Earl; her grandson, Padraic Jason (PJ); and her brothers Christopher and Sjirk Millenaar.

Arrangements are under the care and supervision of Jones Funeral Home, 70 Bridge Street, Sackville, NB.  Honouring Elisabeth’s wishes, there are to be no services at this time.  Interment has taken place at the Fairhaven Memorial Gardens, Moncton.
