A much loved neighbour and friend from our days at Whittinghams Way. Always the lady, Ankie will be sorely missed. Heartfelt condolences to Joe and the family.

Ankie, loved unconditionally, adored her kids and in-laws, and especially her grandkids, and anyone that came to their home. She was the most hospitable person and generous in every way. She was the best grandmother, one I aspired to be like. She was a great cook who gave all her recipes to anyone who asked, my book has heaps of them, and they will be continually baked and eaten by all who have enjoyed Ankie’s cooking. I will certainly miss Ankie, but have many many fond memories. Joe we love you. You had an amazing woman beside you. Be continually praying for you.

As a friend of Steve’s I remember going to their house in our wild college days and being accepted with open arms, she made her kids friends feel at ease and welcome. What a beautiful soul.

My love and prayers to Joe and family.
I still have very strong memories of going to the Van Rooy’s after church with the youth group to enjoy a great feed. Mrs Van Rooy always put on a marvellous spread filled with love.
In Gods Hands now ❤️

So very sad to hear of Ankie’s passing. Joe and Ankie were amazing friends of my parents’ Pieter and Tryn Kuiper.
Always remembered by Dina and Jack.

Our deepest sympathy & heartfelt condolences to Joe & family.

Bye Mrs van Rooy always had a kind word and a smile I wont forget, my thoughts are with the family….

Of course we didn’t have so much contact since we live on the other side of the world, but we visited Oom Joop and Tante Ank in 2014, and that was very special. We also met the rest of that great family and we want to address our deeply condolences to you all. We wish you all the strength to carry that loss,

From the Netherlands,

Aunt Ank, I had the best time ever with my parents at your place. I will not forget your cheerfulness, smile, but also the cake. Uncle Joop, Stephen, Marianne, Robert and Paul strength with this loss,

Lots of love, Monique van Rooij

Dear family and friends,
Our condolences to my brother, our uncle, family and friends for the loss of Ankie.
We wish you strength to carry the loss and we will pray for you all.
Lots of love from Holland.
Rudi, Greetje, Danny, Manu and the kids.

Ankie was a dear friend of my parents Matty and Cor Valk. After my mother died suddenly in 2003 Ankie and Joe kept in contact with Cor, and over the past 2 years visited him regularly in aged care. Such loyal friendship I am very grateful for. Thank you Joe. My heart goes out to you at the sudden unexpected death of your dearly beloved. The peace of the Lord be with you.

Ankie, we love and will miss you. Always welcoming our family, loving & spoiling us.. Joe, we love you and wish we could give you a big hug. Love you.
Beautiful service, sorry we couldn’t be there.

Wij herinneren Ank als een gezellige schoonzus!
Het was fijn dat wij de dienst hebben kunnen volgen.
Marianne en Alyssia mooi dat jullie een woordje in het Nederlands hebben gesproken.

Joop en kinderen heel veel sterkte,
