Sources
Johanna Hendrika (Drika) Duenk was born on Wednesday 4 September 1912 on a farm at Meekesweg 4 in Vragender, the daughter of Arent Jan Duenk and Lammerdina Jansen.
After primary school, Drika went straight to work, as was customary at the time. In 1926, aged thirteen, she went into service with the Lensink family at Nieuw Doornink farm in Lintelo. Around 1930 she moved to Tolkamp farm in Haart.
In 1934 she returned to her parents’ home in Vragender. A year later, on 4 May 1935, the family moved to ’t Paske farm in Dale. In March 1936 Drika returned to Tolkamp. On 8 May 1939 she moved to Te Sligte farm in Barlo, where she probably remained until her marriage.
On 18 June 1942 Drika married Gerrit Jan Wevers. They had four daughters. Their second daughter, Dinie, sadly died at the age of five in 1950. At that time the family lived at Parallelweg 14a in Aalten.
Johanna Hendrika Duenk died in Winterswijk on Friday 2 May 2008, aged 95. She was buried at Berkenhove cemetery in Aalten, plot 489.
