Good day Ilse,
I trust you are well. From the obituary written by the pastor at the time of her death. The birthplace mentioned is 'Gwaloweni' Zululand - when I research the name, mention is made of the Gwaloweni Forest on the Lebombo Mountains (https://www.researchgate.net/publication/47296505_Survey_to_determi...)
So I would imagine it must have been close to the Swaziland Border. The parents' names were mentioned in the obituary too, but no maiden name for the mother.
Unfortunately, this is all information I have to date. Perhaps you could get more information from the Wittenberg Congregation in Piet Retief. All information relating to this church you can find on the following website... https://felsisa.org.za/wittenberg/
Please feel free to update the profiles if you do find any further information.
Kind regards and thanks
Ilma
