Dorathea van Vreeningen Sytema died of typhoid fever, three weeks after her husband. This information comes from a letter written by Jan Roorda (1896-1992) in 1988 to his brother, Richard J Roorda, who lived in the United States.

Quoting from the letter: "Anja Sytema--2 years older than Mien [Jan's sister Wilhelmina Alida, b. 1885]--was a daughter of Mother's older sister; the sister, Dorathea, died from an epidemic of thyfoid fever, 3 weeks after her husband. So Anja was an orphan, which I did not know before I was 13 years old: she was whole our sister!"
