Chantal Nicole Rinsma passed away March 24, 2026, at the age of 19 due to an undiagnosed heart condition, leaving behind a legacy of kindness, quiet strength, and deep compassion for those around her. She will be remembered for her warm spirit, thoughtful nature, and the genuine care she showed to family, friends, and all who had the privilege of knowing her.

Chantal lived her life with grace and resilience, meeting both joys and challenges with courage.

She had a remarkable ability to make others feel seen and valued, often offering support, encouragement, or simply a listening ear when it was needed most. She often shared with us her passion for art, books and cinema. Her presence brought comfort, and her laughter, gentle and sincere, will be dearly missed.

She is lovingly remembered by her family, who were the center of her world, as well as many friends whose lives she touched in meaningful ways. Her memory will continue to live on in the hearts of those who loved her, in the stories shared, and in the quiet moments that remind them of her enduring influence.

A life so beautifully lived deserves to be remembered with love and gratitude. Chantal’s legacy is one of compassion, connection, and a reminder to cherish the simple and meaningful moments in life. In the spirit of her beautiful soul we ask to be kind to one another as life is not guaranteed, and it is a gift to us that should be valued by every precious moment.

She will be deeply missed and forever remembered.

Chantal is survived by her parents; Oane and Kayley Rinsma; sister Allana (Noah Hannah);brother Sean (Kennedy Brooks); grandparents Wendy and Robert Waiting; grandpa Rick Smith;

aunt Candice Ferner (Chris Hammer); cousin Brooke Ferner (Justin Dolan); aunt Sheri Berg; cousins Kendelle, Katelyn (Donovan Brauner), Amy Berg (Tristan Lawless); grandmother Willemke Rinsma; uncle Yde Rinsma (Carla Jordet); cousin Katja Jordet-Rinsma and so many more cousins, and many aunts, uncles and friends that loved her dearly.
