It is with deep sorrow that we share the passing of Ilona Löwen, who departed this life on the morning of March 9, 2026, after a courageous two-year battle with cancer. Her passing leaves a profound void in the hearts of those who knew and loved her.
During this time of grief, we stand in heartfelt solidarity with Edu and the entire Löwen family. We invite the CITY community and all who were touched by Ilona’s life to keep them in their thoughts and prayers as they navigate this difficult season of loss.
Ilona was a remarkable woman whose life reflected grace, humility, and genuine compassion. She possessed a quiet strength and a warm spirit that uplifted everyone around her. Whether through her kindness, her generosity, or her unwavering encouragement to others, Ilona embodied a life of service and love. Her presence brought comfort, her words brought hope, and her actions reflected the depth of her character. She leaves behind a legacy of faith and kindness that will continue to inspire all who had the privilege of knowing her.
Those closest to Ilona will remember not only her gentle nature but also her steadfast faith. She and Edu built their lives on a strong foundation of faith in Christ, a faith that guided them through life’s joys and trials. Even during the challenges of illness, Ilona’s spirit remained a testimony of courage, trust, and devotion.
As shared by the Löwen family’s pastor, Marc Sikma, there is comfort in the assurance that Ilona’s suffering has come to an end and that she now rests in the eternal presence of her Savior. While her absence will be deeply felt, the hope of faith reminds us that her story does not end here.
Ilona Löwen will be remembered with love, gratitude, and deep respect. Her life was a blessing, her memory a treasure, and her legacy one that will live on in the hearts of many. May her soul rest in peace.
