The late Johanna Verkerk was certainly a strong member of a great husband and wife team. She stood by Aalt and gave full support to his endeavors.  Johanna never failed to help in any way necessary, from the finer details of the shops appearance to just keeping a smile in her husband, children's and grandchildren's hearts.  Johanna was also the company's most honest critic, she would always let you know if the product didn't taste 100%.  She has passed on to be with our Lord and is remembered as a woman of great character, and that character is one of the foundation blocks that makes Verkerks what it is today.
