She enjoyed her volunteer work (sewing projects) and attending her athletic events. She loved baking, cake decorating, cooking Dutch recipes, and reading. For the last twenty years, she spent her time making beautiful quilts for her entire extended family. Each one of her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren have a quilt made especially for them.
Her love of sewing was only surpassed by her love for her family; especially for her husband, Joop. They were soul mates and made a wonderful life together in the United States. Joe and Henny were preceded in death by their parents; brother, Frans Matthijssen, and his sisters, Greet Matthijssen and Berta Gerritsen; and seven brothers and sisters.
