Steph Posted January 10, 2020 Report Share Posted January 10, 2020 I don't know how I missed this. It seemed I was seeing her around, but apparently not. At the beginning of December we lost Winnie Goddijn, our friend from Amsterdam. She was in her 80's at least, maybe 90, but what a lively spirited person, and what a great help to many in marbledom.

bumblebee Posted January 10, 2020 Report Share Posted January 10, 2020 May she rest in peace. Sounds like a great lady. Would have been a great trip to visit a lively lady with a passion for marbles in old Amsterdam! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wvrons Posted January 10, 2020 Report Share Posted January 10, 2020 So sad to hear this. I hounded her to find who produced some of those then called German Euro swirls. She dug into it, not easy but she proved without any doubt who made some of them. We traded marbles several times. Just today I found a bag of six marbles, marked from Winnie. I had not seen it for a few years. We emailed for a few years but not the last few years. She was a big help In solving another marble mystery. Rest In Peace Winnie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManofKent Posted January 10, 2020 Report Share Posted January 10, 2020 Sad news indeed. I corresponded with her on some French marbles a couple of years back. A lovely lady and a great loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sissydear Posted February 24, 2020 Report Share Posted February 24, 2020 I saw it somewhere on Facebook. I am saddened by this. She was such a credit to the marble chat boards. Very knowledgeable and helpful. RIP Winnie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
