Thea Verkaart - van Benthem
Thea groeide op in de Benedenstad, als kruideniersdochter. Bij het uitgaan leerde ze haar grote liefde Cor kennen, met wie ze trouwde in 1963. In haar volwassen leven was zij vooral de geweldige echtgenote van Cor, een moeder voor wie haar kinderen alles waren en de kleinkinderen die later geboren werden, waren haar oogappels. Thea was een bijzondere vrouw in al haar eenvoud. Ze was attent en lief, dacht altijd eerst aan anderen en dan pas aan zichzelf. Voetbal was haar grote hobby, of het nu was als leidster bij DVE of later als supporter bij haar kleinkinderen of op de tribune bij NEC. Ook op tv heeft Thea vele wedstrijden bekeken. Thea heeft haar wedstrijd gespeeld, met alles wat ze in zich had, tot op het allerlaatst en met alles wat erbij hoorde. Ze heeft gewonnen en verloren, soms gescoord, af en toe buiten spel gestaan, is geblesseerd geraakt en weer hersteld. Thea heeft hard gestreden maar heeft de wedstrijd tegen haar ziekte niet mogen winnen. Wij zullen haar missen. Wij zullen ons Thea blijven herinneren om de krachtige en geweldige vrouw die zij was. De manier waarop zij in het leven stond zal ons altijd tot voorbeeld blijven.
