Huldeblyke stroom steeds in n\u00e1 die dood van die oud-burgemeestersvrou en plaaslike teaterbekende Bess Meyer, vrou van oorlede burgemeester Tienie Meyer. Sy is op 28 Februarie in die ouderdom van 96 oorlede.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mary Elizabeth Weidemann, of \u201ctannie Bess\u201d soos sy later jare bekend gestaan het, is op 18 Julie 1925 gebore. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sy word vir \u2019n verskeidenheid redes onthou, waarvan haar passie vir toneelspel een van die grootste is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOuma Bess se plekkie op aarde is leeg, maar weet dat haar hemelse toneelspel nou nimmereindigend is,\u201d skryf die familie roerend in haar doodsberig wat onlangs verskyn het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die akteur Albert Maritz skryf op Facebook Meyer se dood is \u201cdie einde van \u2019n onvervangbare generasie in die toneel\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBess Meyer het haar alles vir die amateurteater gegee.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy onthou hoe \u201ceksoties\u201d Meyer was, \u2019n herinnering wat veral uitstaan as hy dink hoe die burgemeesterspaar openingsaande van Bellville se Afrikaanse Toneelvereniging (B.A.T.) kom ondersteun het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBess was self \u2019n entoesiastiese teatermaker. Sy het gespeel, regie gedoen en was \u2019n administratrise vir die amateurteatergeselskap,\u201d s\u00ea hy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDis om sulke positiewe, onopgesmukte herinneringe dat \u2019n mens bid dat die hemel alles is was ons hoop hy is, en dat almal wat goeie bedoelinge had, weer daar saam \u2019n heildronk sal drink en lekker hard sal lag as hulle \u2018reminisce<\/span>\u2019 oor hoe tot n\u00e1 middernag gefuif en in die Bellville-burgersentrum se fontein geswem is.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n Mickey Anthony, wat haar jare lank begelei het, s\u00ea hy het talle herinneringe aan haar warm persoonlikheid en hoe sy haar medemens liefgehad het. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAs ek aan haar dink, dink ek aan vrolikheid, aan skerts, aan \u2019n helder lag so uit die hart, aan \u2019n paar ondeunde o\u00eb wat altyd gevonkel het.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n Haar deur was altyd oop vir \u2019n eensame of \u2019n bekommerde, s\u00ea hy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cEk dink aan beskeidenheid, want tannie Bess was ten spyte van al haar briljante begaafdhede een van die mees beskeie mense wat ek ooit geken het. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cSy was altyd verbaas en dankbaar as \u2019n mens haar gelukwens met \u2019n goeie vertolking van \u2019n rol op die verhoog \u2013 hetsy \u2019n praatrol of \u2019n sangrol.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sy word oorleef deur haar drie kinders (Anton, Tinus en Mariana), twee kleinkinders (Marius en Tonie) en drie agterkleinkinders (Carla, Dani\u00ebl en Zenia).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Huldeblyke stroom steeds in n\u00e1 die dood van die oud-burgemeestersvrou en plaaslike teaterbekende Bess Meyer, vrou van oorlede burgemeester Tienie Meyer.
