Teuny Ebbers, age 85, passed into glory to meet her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on Friday, April 24, 2020 who cradled her in His loving arms. She was a resident at Sheboygan Senior Community since August of 2018.
Teuny was born on July 13, 1934 to the late Gerrit and Dirkje Stolker in Zeist, The Netherlands. In 1956 she immigrated to Canada where she met the love of her life, Gerhard “Gerry” Ebbers. She married Gerhard at the 2nd Christian Reformed Church in Weston, Ontario on July 26, 1958. In 1962 the family moved to Sheboygan, WI.
Teuny worked at several businesses including Buteyn Excavating, Wigwam Mills and she also cleaned private homes.
Teuny was a member of Christ Community Church. She enjoyed the fellowship of the saints, attended Bible Studies and faithfully attended church with her family. She enjoyed serving the church as well as the community. Teuny was also on the Booster Club from Sheboygan Christian High School as vice president and did volunteer work at The Good as New Shop.
Teuny was a loving wife, a mom who loved and adored her children and an Oma who loved and cared deeply for her grandchildren as well as her great-grandchildren. Her smiles, hugs, kisses and special endearments will be missed.
In addition to her husband Gerhard, Teuny is survived by her five children, Gerald (Yvonne) Ebbers, Marilyn Ebbers, Joyce (Tom) Nagel, Rick (Gwen) Ebbers, Ken (Lucinda) Ebbers; grandchildren, Johnathon (Amber) Nagel, Tyler Ebbers (fiancé, Laura Kobes), Jaymee Ebbers (Dale Clay), Tessa (Brian) Hofman, Spencer Ebbers, Michelle Nagel, Austin Ebbers, Caleb Ebbers, Jared Ebbers and Paige Ebbers; great-grandchildren, Liam, Tobias and Willa Nagel, Laine and Mia Hofman; siblings, Gerry Bangen, Tine and Pete Blokhuis, Ernst (Ludy) Stolker, Dicky (Henk) Van Ingen Schanau, Loes (Peter John Schouten) Stolker and Sander (Toos) Stolker. She is also survived by sister-in-law, Corry Vlaming and many nieces and nephews whom she loved and adored.
Teuny was preceded in death by three brothers, Henk, Simon and Gerrit Stolker; three sisters, Corry Feyer, Jannie Wind and Ridi Van Zandt and brothers-in-law, Ben Bangen, Gerrit Feyer and Ted Vlaming.
Due to current health restrictions a private family service will be held and a celebration of Teuny’s life will be held and announced at a later date. During this difficult time of private services, you may show your support by joining our “Hugs from Home” program where your message will be attached to a ribbon in our chapel to remind the family of your love and support. Please visit www.reinboldfh.com. Kindly send all hugs by 12:00 p.m. on Wednesday, April 29, 2020. Memorials in Teuny’s name may be directed to Sheboygan Senior Community.
The family would like to extend a special thank you to the staff at Sheboygan Senior Community for the loving care that they gave to Teuny.
To Ken--My sincerest sympathy to you and your family in this time of sadness. Looks like she had a good life, judging by the number of family. She also raised a fine son--you--with a compassion for your fellow man and his needs.
Some day you'll be together with her again in eternal happiness, so this sadness is only temporary.

To the Ebbers family,
We want to extend our sympathies to everyone in your family during this difficult time. We would like to thank your whole family for welcoming us into your Lincoln Ave neighborhood when we moved there in 1980. We only spent 5 years in that location but have such warm memories of Teuny and Gerry along with your whole family. We fondly recall Teuny always having a beautiful smile to go along with that great dutch accent of hers! She always brought a smile to our faces and joy to our lives. We continued to feel a close connection to you all whenever we would run into you around town. Teuny will be remembered for her warm smile and positive attitude. We send our love. Paul and Janie Hertel

Dear Ebbers and Nagel families,
Our hearts go out to you as you mourn the earthly loss of your most beloved wife, mother and grandmother! How comforting to know that she is safe in the arms of Jesus! This past Sunday afternoon, Bo and I viewed his mother's stone, as well as his brother's and many church people. Most had Bible verses on them - a testimony of their faith and hope in Christ. "Because I live, you also will live." Death is not the Victor. You will see her again in glory! Hallelujah!
It was a privilege to meet her long ago in the house by Lake Michigan in Sheboygan. She treated this college friend of Joyce's who was far from home like family. Precious memories. ❤️ With love from the Verburg Family
Bo, Jo and children

Though we know Teuny is with the Lord and is experiencing "joys unspeakable", we grieve with you in your loss. It is our prayer that now and in the days ahead the Lord will give you a sense of Joy and Peace that passes all understanding. -- With deep love and gratitude, Larry & Donna

What a beautiful woman with a heart of gold, growing up with the Stolker sisters all did their part rising us, as we spent much time at each others houses. I can not recall a time that Tanta Teuny was ever frustrated with us, I only have memories of love, compassion and chocolate graham cracker cake for birthdays! These times are hard but we can trust in the Lord that she is living in a place that we can not even begin to describe, other than beautiful and loving just like you Tante Teuny. We will meet again in Heaven! Love Harry.
