Notizen zu dieser Person

Born in Amsterdam, Netherlands 18-3-1911. She loved beautiful things and had a wonderful eye for design. At the catholic boarding school she attended, the nuns taught her to sew. As a young women, she trained as a dress designer and seamstress and qualified as a coupeuse (cutter and designer). She and a friend, nicknamed Mop, subsequently opened a boutique in Amsterdam and called it Animo, which they ran together with six assistants. Annie married Gerard Nooij on 11 September 1935 in Amsterdam having been introduced to him by his sister whom she was at school with, also called Annie. They experienced hard times together but she stood by him through thick and thin throughout their lives together. Following World War 2, (tough times of which Elly remembers wearing clothes made by her mother from the flour bags used in the bakery) Annie and Gerard immigrated to South Africa with their children in and docked in Cape Town in November 1952. The barren, sandy Orange Free State was a far cry from the cosmopolitan delights of Amsterdam and she never lost the deep affection she felt for the country of her birth. However faced with the tough life of being an immigrant, her talents with a needle and thread stood her in good stead for her entire life. She always helped her husband to make ends meet by sewing and later became well known in Springs in the Transvaal, where they moved to, as an accomplished dressmaker. After her husband died, she continued sewing and made so many wedding dresses and attended so many weddings of grateful brides that she soon lost count of them all. In 1972 she and her unmarried daughter, Miekie, moved from Springs to Braamfontein in Johannesburg as thecity provided better job opportunities for Miekie. In 1975 they made the decision to return to live in Holland after Miekie had had a very successful working holiday there. On the eve of their departure, Roko Kostelac, the only man who Miekie had ever truly had any romantic inclinations towards, proposed to her and asked her not to leave. She stayed - and so did her mother. Annie’s later years were spent amongst her children and grandchildren whom she doted on. Her failing eyesight in her later years was a huge burden for her to bear as it deprived her of being able to sew and thus of her passion. She died at NazarethHouse in Yeoville, Johannesburg on 4 October 1990. geboorte: Op doopakte wordt de familienaam als Hoogenhout geschreven.
