Valda passed away on the 22nd September at Waitakere Hospital after a long struggle with COPD, and a short but complicated illness. Special thanks to the staff that took care of her, in her last week, and to her friends who supported her at Waitakere Gardens.
Dearly loved wife of the late Hendrik Hooghiemster, and much-loved mum to Debra, Terry, partner Kevin, and Erin. Beloved Oma to Josina, Loren, Mathew and partners Cambel and Vincent, loved great Oma to Arya, Ruby, Vayda, and Lennox. Always in our hearts.
A service to celebrate Valda's life will be held on Friday 26th September 2025 at 2pm, in the Garden Chapel, 220 Universal Drive, Henderson, followed by a private cremation.
