After Kho's death due to illness in 1975, she continued the agency together with her (life) partner Tinus van de Kerkhof (1937). From 2005 she gradually ends the agency, due to her age and due to the degree of care Van de Kerkhof needs due to illness. Verschuuren has played an important social role in the field of design.
