Vetnuus | December 2025 39 Jeanne Giselle Vigeé-Le Brun Mattheus Dr Jeanne Giselle Vigeé-Le Brun Mattheus,44, BSc-Agric (Cum Laude) UFS and BVSc UP, passed in the early hours of 11 March 2025 due to a lung embolism. Jeanne was born on 30 September 1980 in Bloemfontein as the daughter of André and Ella Mattheus. Jeanne was always a sensitive soul, an artist and an animal lover to her core. She played the violin and viola, sketched and painted beautifully. She rode horses, competed in dressage and was a member of the Free State & Northern Cape Junior Equestrian Team that competed in the SA Junior Championships more than once. Studying veterinary science, the heavy workload and the trauma she later experienced in some practices caused infinite damage to her health. Little time remained for leisure. Despite health challenges, she excelled as a veterinarian, obtaining support when necessary. At the time of her passing, she had a tremendous job offer in Hong Kong, was successfully registered with the HK Veterinary Council and was awaiting her work visa. Jeanne will be missed by all who knew her. v Prof Ken Pettey In Memoriam His contributions were recognised by RuVASA’s Ricky Wilson Award in 2015 and SAVA’s President’s Award in 2017. Over his professional lifetime, Clive showed a consistent attitude to everything he did – with vision, determination, thoroughness, energy and integrity. He worked with people with consideration, inclusiveness and helpfulness. If time allowed in his busy life, he enjoyed playing squash, going diving and doing carpentry. In 2016, Clive and Hendretia retired to Jeffrey’s Bay after a long and productive life of service, where he died at peace on the 25th of July 2025. He was deeply respected and is fondly remembered by his family, friends, colleagues and clients. v Prof Gareth Bath Dr Brian Easton1940 – 2025 Dr Bill Jenkins 1937 – 2025 We honour and remember the contributions made by our colleagues who recently passed away.
