Born 14.4.1939 Bunde, The Netherlands. Passed away peacefully on August 2, 2025 aged 86, in Christchurch surrounded by loved ones. Maria grew up during the war and its aftermath then emigrated to NZ in 1964 with new husband Willem (Bill). Mother of three sons and Oma to two grandchildren. Adored by all of them. Loved reading, walks and spending time with her family.

She was the glue that held our family together and will be dearly missed.

I had the pleasure of working with Jan over several years in the motor industry, especially appreciating his passion for cars. He was a wonderful person to deal with. My sincere condolences.
