Aileen LEEDHAM Obituary

Aileen Leedham, Gary's Mum and my Kiwi Mum, had the ability to light up a room with her warmth, and infectious giggle. She loved to garden, bowling, Bingo and her family. Aileen loved music, and to sing and dance. She taught me to always look at the bright side of life and will live forever in our hearts. With the current covid restrictions we were unable to come back to New Zealand from Sydney after celebrating her 100th birthday, but do have incredibly special memories to draw upon, keeping her forever alive in our hearts. Thank you to all at CHT who kept a smile on her face and let her know how loved she was and always will be. Thank you Aileen for the 100 years you brought joy to this earth and for your legacy living on through your loving family. We will miss you and you will live eternally in our hearts! This photo was taken after Aileen's 100th birthday - after we had been singing That's Amore and watching the Dean Martin Variety show - which she just loved!!
