\u2019n Gesamentlike diens is vir \u2019n geliefde egpaar van Kroonstad gehou nadat di\u00e9 twee oudonderwysers vyf dae n\u00e1 mekaar gesterf het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Johan (81) en Janie (82) Lourens se geliefdes het Woensdag, 29 November in die Suikerbosrand-aftreeoord in Heidelberg, Gauteng, van hulle afskeid geneem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die egpaar, wat op 21 Desember hul 60ste huweliksherdenking sou vier, het sedert Augustus 2021 in di\u00e9 aftreeoord gebly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die oord is ook bekend as die Heidelberg Vereniging vir Bejaardes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Marianne de Lange, een van hul dogters, s\u00ea albei haar ouers het met hul gesondheid gesukkel, haar ma oor \u2019n langer tydperk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Haar ma se gedenkdiens is vir Maandag beplan nadat sy verlede Dinsdag in hul kamer in die aftreeoord se versorgingseenheid gesterf het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Janie is presies \u2019n week n\u00e1 haar 82ste verjaardag oorlede.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Johan, wat in Mei volgende jaar 82 sou word, is twee dae n\u00e1 haar dood in die Life Suikerbosrand-hospitaal opgeneem waar hy Sondag 26 November gesterf het. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Johan was vir baie jare \u2019n onderwyser aan die destydse Ho\u00ebr Tegniese Skool (HTS) De Wet Nel in Kroonstad en Janie by die ou Kroonheuwel Prim\u00eare Skool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHulle was twee mense met ongelooflike deursettingsvermo\u00eb en \u2019n passie vir die lewe. Hulle was nederige mense wat baie vir hul gemeenskap omgegee het,\u201d s\u00ea De Lange, wat tussen die Paarl en Franschhoek woon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sy s\u00ea hulle was wonderlike ouers en het haar en haar suster, Amelia Champion van Pretoria, van die klein dingetjies in die lewe geleer en om nooit moed op te gee nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Haar pa was destyds saam met wyle Dawie Crowther mede-afrigter van die HTS De Wet Nel se eerste rugbyspan, waar hulle onder meer die voormalige Springbok-flank Gert Smal afgerig het, s\u00ea sy. Smal is ook \u2019n oud-hulpafrigter van die Springbokke en die Ierse rugbyspan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHy (Johan) was \u2019n ou rugbylegende; hy het self ook op sy dag vir die Vrystaat se o. 21-span gespeel.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy het volgens haar 11 keer aan die Comrades-ultramarathon deelgeneem, waarvan hy tien voltooi het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Johan het in die elektriese veld onderrig.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sy s\u00ea haar ma was \u2019n kranige wiskunde- en skeinatonderwyseres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
De Lange, \u2019n oudleerling van die eertydse Ho\u00ebrskool Kroonstad, was in 1986 die wenner van die Matrieknooi van die Jaar-kompetisie, nou bekend as Volksblad en die Universiteit van die Vrystaat se Matrikulant van die Jaar-kompetisie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens De Lange het haar ouers sowat 53 jaar in Kroonstad gewoon, al die jare in dieselfde huis, voordat hulle na die aftreeoord verhuis het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hulle het aanvanklik in hul eie tweeslaapkamerhuis in die aftreeoord gewoon, maar in Augustus vanjaar na die versorgingseenheid geskuif. Hier was hulle saam in \u2019n kamer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Janie is op 7 Julie vanjaar na die oord se versorgingseenheid oorgeplaas en twee dae later in die Life Suikerbosrand-hospitaal se waakeenheid opgeneem. Sy is op 9 Augustus ontslaan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Johan is in daardie tyd ook twee keer gehospitaliseer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Haar pa se gesondheid het geweldig begin verswak weens die skok oor sy vrou se verswakte toestand, s\u00ea sy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Johan is in Augustus weens \u2019n senuwee wat in sy rug vasknyp, opgeneem en het op 11 Augustus by Janie in die versorgingseenheid ingetrek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sy s\u00ea Parkinson se siekte en prostaatkanker is vroe\u00ebr vanjaar by hom gediagnoseer, maar dit is met medikasie in bedwang gehou. Hy het ook \u2019n prostaat-prosedure ondergaan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Demensie het ook begin intree en die laaste ruk met rasse skrede vererger. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens De Lange het haar ma se gesondheid reeds in 2019 begin verswak en was sy veral in 2021 baie siek nadat sy geval en \u2019n heupvervanging gehad het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Haar gesondheid het wel mettertyd verbeter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sy s\u00ea haar pa het mooi na haar ma omgesien.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die egpaar word ook deur hul skoonseuns, Nico de Lange en Peter Champion, vier kleinkinders en \u2019n agterkleinseun oorleef.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
