• Notes

  Sannie was a loving and faithful partner to Pieter for more than 58 years of their married life. Her priorities were her husband and the children, and she diligently looked after the family finances, carefully planning her savings to ensure that there were funds for an annual family holiday by the sea while ensuring that the household was always well attended to and in good shape. She loved her children too much to spoil them. While they received everything that they needed, she did not tolerate ill discipline and did not hesitate to spank a child in public if this was called for, but never unjustified. Her children knew where they stood, knew right from wrong and grew up to understand and appreciate the value of "tough love." Sannie loved to play tennis and won many local tournaments in Benoni and on the East Rand. She played tennis competitively well into her sixties. Then she took up bowls because all her friends had either retired, died or given up tennis for bowls. She also excelled at bowls, winning many club and East Rand titles as well as competitions in Ramsgate where she also loved to play during the annual family holidays. She became very well loved and respected at the club, as was the case at the tennis club previously. After having been involved in a car accident while driving near Ventersdorp in the 'fifties, she refused to drive further and never drove again in her life. She made extensive use of public transport to get to wherever she wished to be. After Piet (as she affectionately called him) passed away in 1983, she pined away to join him in their heavenly Father's home almost three years later, shortly after her 80th birthday. [4]
