Keeping The Faith The Gran Who Gives Her All

Family Will Always Be Her Priority.

Faith van Heeswyck goes from dawn to dusk surrounded by children, often with little time to pause.

But the winner of our Grandma of the Year competition − in association with Ryman Healthcare − is being rewarded for selflessly putting family first no matter the curve balls life throws.

Whether it’s moving in with her daughter to give round the clock, hands-on help to homeschool, cook, clean and care for six young grandchildren or tending to her teenage granddaughter with special needs, to even helping to run a community dance class, the caring matriarch is there to support and help where she can.
