Arie Ribbens’ widow recovered in time for funeral | Stars

Both had corona, his illness was fatal

–

Not the disease that cost him his well-known voice after a series of radiation treatments, but corona became fatal to Arie Ribbens last week. The party singer had a long illness and has been plagued by many medical setbacks in recent years, but as his good friend Jacques Herb pointed out, Private told, corona gave him ‘the last push’. His wife Cea also contracted the virus. She has been in quarantine for the past few days, but has recovered in time and was released from that, to be present on Thursday at Arie’s farewell in Emmeloord.
