Obituary of Raymonda Christiaen
In Loving Memory
It is with heavy hearts that the family announces the peaceful passing of our much-loved mother, grandmother, great grandmother, sister and friend, Mrs. Raymonda Christiaen, formerly of Delhi, at V.O.N. Sakura House, Woodstock on Thursday, February 29, 2024 in her 95th year. Born the oldest of three and the only daughter of John and Jeannette (VanBelle) DePauw. Raymonda had an adventurous life with Louis, beginning with tobacco farming in Aylmer for ten years, moving on to 15 years of the Belgium Hall days (1962-1977) where many meals were prepared for many events. Their final business venture was establishing and operating the Turkey Point Marina (1977-2005). Many friendships and lasting memories were made along this journey. The love that Raymonda had for her family and friends never diminished during these times and only got stronger with age. Former Raymonda Regina DePauw.
