\u201cOM stil te bly op die regte tyd, s\u00ea baie meer as om ontydig jou s\u00ea te wil s\u00ea.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Di\u00e9 wyse raad is een van vele van ouma Bettie du Piesanie (n\u00e9\u00e9 Barnard) van Despatch, wie se 100ste verjaardag op Woensdag, 24 Maart gevier gaan word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ouma Bettie is in 1921 op Jansenville gebore, waar sy saam met haar vyf susters en drie broers grootgeword en skoolgegaan het. Sy is die enigste oorlewende van haar familie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ouma Bettie en haar eerste man, Thys Strydom, het op die plaas De Kroon in die Klipplaat-distrik gewoon. In 1943 het hulle na Despatch getrek en vier dogters is uit hul huwelik gebore, Wilhelmina Jacobs (80), Nellie Kleyn (75), Marinda Coetzer (70) en Cathy Burger (65). Die dogters bly nog al die jare op Despatch, behalwe Cathy wat in die Baai woon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1981 is Thys Strydom op 71-jarige ouderdom oorlede na \u2018n beroerte. Ouma Bettie was toe in haar vroe\u00eb sestigs en het vir haar suster op Jansenville gaan kuier en daar het sy Boet Knoetze ontmoet. Hulle is later getroud, maar drie jaar later sterf hy aan \u2019n hartaanval. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2019n Paar jaar later is sy vir \u2019n derde keer, weer op Jansenville, getroud met Kerneels du Piesanie. Kort na hul troue sterf hy in 1988 aan \u2019n hartaanval. Na sy dood het Ouma Bettie teruggetrek na Despatch, waar sy die afgelope 33 jaar tussen haar dogters woon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Volgens hulle het hul ma \u2019n gese\u00ebnde lewe geniet sowel as goeie gesondheid tot sy op 99-jarige ouderdom met psigotiese demensie gediagnoseer is. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gevolglik kan sy nie meer loop nie en pla die geheue so bietjie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Op 90 het haar huisdokter, dr. Henk de Jongh ges\u00ea, \u201cTannie jy is s\u00f3 gesond, jou bloeddruk is soos di\u00e9 van \u2019n 60-jarige vrou.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ouma Bettie is die juweel van haar familie, het \u2019n goeie sin vir humor en is lief vir grappies maak. Sy kan altyd deur \u2019n ring getrek word en hou van mooi aantrek en netjies wees. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEk het nog nie lippe en wange aan nie,\u201d is \u2019n oorbekende s\u00eading van haar wanneer daar \u2019n uitstappie iewers heen sou wees. En dan het almal geduldig gewag tot dit gedoen was.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vir hekel was sy baie lief en elke kind het \u2019n lappie van Ouma Bettie in hul huis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die Strydom-familie is een groot gelukkige, gese\u00ebnde en gesellige familie wat elke jaar \u2019n familie-re\u00fcnie hou met Bettie \u201cStrydom\u201d as die eregas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Haar nasate bestaan uit vier dogters, 12 kleinkinders, 18 agterkleinkinders en twee agter-agterkleinkinders. Hulle almal is dit eens, \u201cons as nalatingskap is s\u00f3 gese\u00ebnd en dankbaar om Ouma Bettie in ons lewens te h\u00ea en dank ons liewe Vader elke dag vir haar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSy is \u2019n goeie voorbeeld vir ons Strydoms van oud tot jonk en beslis die grootste bederf wat ons ooit kon kry. Sy is \u2019n ware kind van die Here.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ouma Bettie s\u00ea met \u2019n glimlag, \u201cEk is jaloers op my familie wat oorlede is, want dit lyk my Liewe Jesus het van my vergeet hier op aarde.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
