Long time resident of Keurboomstrand, Jane Worthing’s main contribution was as loyal friend to many
JOCK WORTHING pays tribute to his recently departed wife, Jane – who was a chef, gardener, florist, fashion model, artist, and home creator par excellence.
Jane (nee Romyn), like too many, succumbed to the coronavirus. Her children, grandchildren, their spouses, her niece, nephews, and their families are filled with gratitude for the support and love she brought to their lives. She was proud of them all and their achievements.
The contribution of her parents’ and grandparents’ generation on the developments in Southern Africa was considerable.
Part of the family recognised the beauty and special nature of Keurboomstrand in the 1930s, and Jane inherited the responsibility for keeping it in the family.
We are overwhelmed by the condolences and expressions of love and admiration received, and we all humbly thank you.
Born in Salisbury, then Rhodesia, Jane filled our lives with family and friends from around the world. A chef of diversity, a multi-continental gardener, a florist, a fashion model, artist, and home creator Jane’s overwhelming influence was as a loyal friend to so many.
She travelled the world with me and our grandchildren and created homes in Zimbabwe, England, Switzerland, and South Africa.
She affected all with her gracious beauty, dignity, and caring. Our memories of her will support us as we adapt to a future significantly influenced by her.
