Mary-Anne Armoed, \u2019n bekende en geliefde inwoner van Caledon, is (Donderdag 2 Februarie) slegs 10 dae voordat sy haar 59ste verjaarsdag sou vier, n\u00e1 \u2019n lang kankerstryd oorlede.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mary, soos almal haar genoem het (gebore Martin), is op 12 Februarie 1964 op die plaas Dunghenypark buite Caledon gebore, waar sy skoolgegaan het voordat sy haar skoolloopbaan by Swartberg Sekond\u00ear voltooi het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mary was getroud met Sydney Armoed, \u2019n bekende sakeman, joernalis en fotograaf van Caledon. Armoed s\u00ea: \u201cOns het verlede jaar ons 30ste huweliksherdenking gevier, maar hoe ek Mary leer ken het, is eintlik \u2019n lang storie. Ek het op \u2019n plaas buite die dorp gewoon en aan Nelson Booysen genoem ek wil \u2019n slag kerk toe gaan. Hy het ds. Van der Westhuizen van die VGK na my gestuur, wat my genooi het om in die pastorie te kom kuier. Ek wou net een keer kerk toe gaan, en toe ek wel gaan, sien ek Mary daar en ek besluit ek wil met daardie vrou trou. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk het haar van geen kant af geken nie en sy ook nie vir my nie. Die dominee het dit vir haar genoem en sy het ges\u00ea sy sal daaroor bid. Sy het ja ges\u00ea. Ons het in die pastorie verloof geraak en is ses maande later getroud. Ons het mekaar in die huwelik leer ken. Dit was \u2019n geloofstap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie Here het vir my \u2019n juweel gegee, soos dit geskryf is in Spreuke 31:10 \u2018Haar waarde is ver bo korale.\u2019 Ek het die beste tye van my lewe saam met my vrou gehad. Ek sien dit as groot genade van die Here.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mary het vir jare as kassiere by verskeie supermarkte gewerk, maar het later by haar man se ondernemings aangesluit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sy het die leerlinglisensieklasse by sy bestuurskool behartig, en omdat sy so geduldig was, het sy \u2019n besonder ho\u00eb slaagsyfer behaal. Sy het Armoed ook by die kantoor en koerant bygestaan en was mede-eienaar van die Transoverberg Nuus<\/i>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Armoed noem dat Mary \u2019n skaam en skugter mens was wat lief was vir lees en tuinmaak en baie van blomme gehou het. \u201cToe ons die huis gebou het, het sy ges\u00ea dit moet \u2019n huis wees waar rus en vrede heers. Hoewel sy vir 16 jaar aan kanker gely het, het min mense dit geweet, want ons is \u2019n baie private familie, s\u00ea Armoed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk wil net vir die Here dankie s\u00ea vir die wonderlike vrou wat Hy vir my gegee het \u2013 \u2019n vrou wat ek nie geken het nie en wat ek in die geloof gevat het. Dankie vir mense wat die Here oor my pad gebring het \u2013 mense soos Nelson Booysen en ds. Van der Westhuizen.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Armoed s\u00ea hulle het \u201congelooflike diens\u201d by plaaslike dokters gekry. \u201cEk het die grootste respek vir die dokters in Caledon. Sy was gereed om te gaan. Sy het vrede in haar hart gehad,\u201d s\u00ea Armoed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mary word oorleef deur haar moeder, Dorothea Martin (80), haar eggenoot Sydney, kinders Deviena Syce, Enslin Armoed, Bernado Stephanus, Carllyn Cloete en Chantell Armoed, 10 kleinkinders en twee susters en \u2019n broer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die begrafnis vind Saterdag 11 Februarie van die VGK Caledon plaas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
