A dignified lady with an astute mind and a gentle, caring nature. We will remember Joan for sharing her love of books, music and the garden. She was a dedicated keeper of the family history. A treasured Aunty who was devoted to family, whanau and the wider community. A life well lived.

Aroha, Anne and Lisa
