Peacefully with family by her side following a courageous battle at Te Hopai Home and Hospital on Thursday 8th November 2018, aged 80 years young. Adored wife of the late Anton (Tom). Dearly loved mother of Bart and mother- in-law of Angela. Beloved Oma of Ava, Romy and Michael. Loved sister, sister-in-law, and adored auntie of her large family in New Zealand and the Netherlands. Survived by her two brothers Tony and Herman Bekhuis. Dearly loved friend to many. Suzy touched and inspired the lives of many people through her significant achievements and contribution to the city of Wellington and its café culture. She leaves a lasting legacy and will be sorely missed. Suzy’s family would like to extend a heartfelt thanks to all the doctors, nurses and carers at Te Hopai Home and Hospital for their wonderful care of Suzy. In lieu of any flowers we please request a donation to the Te Hopai Trust. A donation box will be available on her Memorial Day.
