Geliefde dokter sterf onverwags

Klerkdorp Rekord, Rustenburg - Dr Thelma de Kock is verlede week oorlede nadat sy drie weke gelede verstik het. Sy was ‘n geliefde dokter in Klerksdorp vir baie jare voor sy na Rustenburg verhuis het.

Volgens haar man, Des du Plessis, was haar dood onverwags, want sy was blakend gesond. Sy het op 72-jarige ouderdom nog steeds praktiseer. Sy is op Vrydag 14 Maart in Rustenburg oorlede nadat sy drie weke in die hoësorgeenheid was nadat sy verstik het.

“Haar slukderm het geskeur en dit het komplikasies veroorsaak,” het ‘n treurende Des aan Klerksdorp Rekord vertel.
