    DUFNIE JOHANNA DE KORTE 22 July 1927 to 19 July 2020 We lost my mum, Ouma, Ou-ouma, or just Dufnieto many friends from Covid19 three days before her 93rd birthday. She was a devoted Christian: her big treat was the walk to the Dutch Reformed Church with a group of friends on a sunny Sunday morning. Thank you Ds Strauss de Jager for making her place of worship such a specialplace. My mother was a loyal cricket and rugby supporter; laughed a lot, loved to tell stories to her children and grandchildren and made music and chocolates a permanent feature in our lives.
