Dutch Cabbage Rolls: Mary Schuurman
Mrs. Anton (Mary) Schuurman contributed her Dutch Cabbage Rolls recipe to the Favourite Recipes Cookbook, which was compiled by the Women’s Association of Central Baptist Church in 1969.
During the 1960s, Mary Schuurman resided on Napier Street in Sarnia with her husband, Anton. She was often at events hosted by the International Symphony Orchestra Women’s Association, as she acted as their event coordinator! Unfortunately, we lose track of Mary after 1969. The couple may have left the Sarnia area.
Did you know Mary Schuurman? We would love to know more about her time with the International Symphony Orchestra!
