Nel leads cancer battle

I'd like to share a little bit about
a relired nurse who has found her
place in the community by
volunteering to help others in
need.

I’m talking about the president
‘of the Terrace branch of the Ca-
nadian Cancer Society — Nel
Lieuwen.

_ Born in Andyk, Holland on
June 4th, 1924, Nel had six
brothers and two sisters,

Her father Francis was a bulb
grower,.markcting his tulip,. daf-
fodil and gladioli bulbs at flowe
markets in Haarlem, Holland.

Nel-grew-up in Andyk and be-
came trained as a seamstress.

‘In 1945 she went to Amster-
dam, taking an office job helping
prepare and book concerts for
blind people.

In 1950 she immigrated to Can-
ada with her entire family.

“Her brothers and sisters and

_theit parents lived first in Hous-
ton, B.C...

. The family landed on a farm
that belonged to her uncle. They
sold milk to Smithers and fresh
farm eggs to local stores.

- Nel went to work as a
housekeeper and later moved to

oo Vancouver, where she worked at
~ Vancouver Gencral Hospital as a

‘dishwasher,

There she was encouraged by

“friends to go. into nursing. Her

friend Bets Kwantes, a nurse, of-

fered to pay ber tuition.

-. Her cousin helped her with
English and she went to Shurpass

- College, getting her Grade 12.

> She then trained as a nurse at

_:Royal- Columbian Hospital for

~ three years. -

_» -Nel was 31 then; all the other

nursing students were under 20,

. Nel graduated in. September,
5 1960 as a graduate nurse,

She accepted her first nursing
job at: Royal Columbian Hospital,

“working in the surgical ward

- there for two years.

At Easter in 1962 she visited
“Terrace to see her sisler and was
casked by the hospital to come and
- work here.

2 She ‘starled at Mills Memorial
two months later. The hospital at
‘that time was very new,

She started in the nursery and

later worked in other wards,

Nel! became the afternoon su-
pervisor in 1968 and stayed until
1989 when she retired.

Since then she has tried to find
her niche in the community,

Her friend Norma Morrison
suggested she join the Hospice
Society, Nel fit in very well there

She’s now an emergency aid

volunteer for the Canadian Can-

cer Socicty. It’s rewarding work
for her — gelting in touch with
people who have cancer and then
helping them in their needs.

She helps them with finding
transportation to Vancouver, ac-
comodation, getting drugs,
oxygen, prostheses, wigs — any-
thing they need. .

Keep up the good wark Nel,
and all other workers involved
