Occupation: Housewife and mother (the best).
Comments: Barbara Elvy was born at 60 Mansfield Road, Walthamstow. From earliest childhood, she was an adventurous and daring girl. In her early 20's Barbara travelled to the Netherlands where she met and married her first husband Wim Jettinghoff, who sadly died of cancer only weeks later. Later she married her second husband, my father, Rudolf Backer Dirks. Together they lived and raised their four children in Denmark, South Africa, France and then Germany before retiring in Spain. This is our wonderful Mum!
