van Hintum, Nancy Jean (nee Johnston)
October 29, 1959 – November 9, 2023
It is with great sadness that we share the passing of Nancy at Royal Victoria Hospital in Barrie on November 9, 2023. She was surrounded in love by her husband and family.
Born in Barrie, ON, on October 29, 1959, to Clayton Johnston and Isabella (Leece) Johnston. Nancy grew up on a farm in Stroud, where she lived with her parents, brothers and sisters. She worked as a Customs Rater for many years, then as a Court Reporter later in life.
Nancy is the cherished wife of Michael van Hintum. They shared a joyful life of 32 years filled with family, friends, travelling and adventure.
She is survived by her mother Isabella Johnston (Ken Stacey); her children Laura Lockyer (Gary), Corey Lockyer; her grandchildren Kodey(Giovanni), Aurora (Broderick), Amber and Noah; her great-grandchild Abbi. She was predeceased by her father Clayton Johnston.
Nancy is the treasured daughter-in-law to Bill and Francine van Hintum; sister-in-law to Wilma, Johanna (Scott) and Christine.
Nancy is the much-loved sister of Susan, Barry (Karen), Jeffery (Kim), Wayne (Kathie) and Cathy (David).
She will be sorely missed by numerous nieces, nephews, great-nieces, great-nephews and all who knew her.
