HARMEN CORNELIS SENTEN
My Hamme Our Opa
Harmen Cornelis Senten passed away due to complications of Lewy Body Dementia on November 26, 2016, at the age of 88. Harmen was surrounded by loving and caring family members. Harmen was born in Vlissingen, Netherlands, on June 21, 1928 to Cornelis Senten and Trijntje Liefheid. At a young age he served his country in the Royal Dutch Navy and in the Merchant Marines as a Technical Officer from 1946 to 1953. He immigrated to the USA in 1954, and later became as citizen of the US. While Harmen was living in Salt Lake City, Utah, he was converted to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, and married Anneke Terpstra in 1956, and a year later was sealed in the Salt Lake Temple in 1958, where they have been married for nearly 60 years.
Harmen worked for various electrical engineering firms such as the University of Utah in the Physical Facilities Engineering Department and his last stent was the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints where he was a Building inspector for nearly 20 years where he retired.
Harmen was an active member of his faith, and faithfully served in many capacities in the church. Harmen was very involved in his family genealogy and temple work.
He is survived by his wife Anneke T. Senten, son – C. Jeff (Jeanene) Senten, son – S. Mark Senten, daughter – Inga (Ric) Anderson and 11 Grandchildren and 14 Great Grand Children.
The Senten family would like to thank those who cared for dad’s condition at the University of Utah Clinical Neurosciences Center and Clerks; the MA’s and PA’s and doctors at the Imaging & Neurosciences Center for the wonderful care for this dreaded condition, but most of all THANK YOU to the Legacy Health Care Hospice Specialty of Utah. These wonderful caretakers were respectful and loving, and supportive at every moment. God Bless these angels during these trouble times as they perform their duties at these final stages of life.
