RODDA, Maria Catharina (née den Brinker)

I knew Maria as a colleague and remember her as a great nurse and I was so sorry to hear this. Sincere condolences to all her family.
A life well lived and she will be missed by many

Maria’s vibrancy and love of life drew others like a mother to a flame.
Her love for Bernard and her family was beautiful to see.
Thank you Maria for your friendship.
Love and deepest sympathy to all her loved ones

Maria made the world a better place and will be remembered as a person who embodied Values that others may only aspire to. Her inner light always shone through, as did her honesty and compassion. Maria always spoke with such pride of her family and especially of the joy of sharing travels with Bernard.

So sorry to hear of Maria’s passing and sending lots of love to the whole family ❤️ Maria was an inspiration to me with her approach to aged care. She inspired me to go on and do the same.

Sending heartfelt condolences for the loss of your mother at this time. I remember her as a dedicated and caring nurse who was a great leader. She always demonstrated and expected high standards of herself and colleagues.
