Anamea RIDGLEY Obituary

So sorry to hear of your passing Anamea. I have such fond memories of our time at Dio. How we laughed. You were a ray of sun shine back then and sounds like you were into adulthood too. I regret not keeping in touch. Much love.

Knowing a little bit of you and seeing you in the early stages of your life, it was obvious your were going to be bought up with many options. And the most obvious was that you would follow in your parents footsteps career wise in one of the forces. An honour to be your aunty Anamea. You have made our family proud with your amazing colourful life. Fly high my niece.

To my sister Aroha and Brother in-law Don, Being with yous the last couple of days I struggled to find words off comfort for yous. And what I´m about to say you´re probably sick of hearing it, so I feel comfortable to write it here. I am extremely sorry for your loss.

Sorry not able to be there for the celebration of your daughter's life. My thoughts and prayers are with you especially today, Aroha and Don. Sending Love.

We knew Anamea by her extraordinary kindness - every year she would stop by the local SPCA shelter randomly, with her Jeep full to bursting of food, toys and bedding for the animals. She was gracious, considerate and giving of her time and energy for those in need. Our condolences to Anamea's whanau and friends for the loss of a beautiful, kind and generous soul.

Farewell Anamea. You made an impact on me and others through your humor, intelligence and cheeky laugh. And you made the workplace an enjoyable place to be. Your beautiful plant you cared for in our office is now in my safe hands. I will cherish it as you did. A nice reminder of the amazing person you were. Rest In Peace.

Totally heartbroken to hear our beautiful Anamea had passed away so suddenly. So young & bright you still had so much more to offer this world.
Rest In Peace Anamea.

I´m truly gutted to hear this. Anamea was lovely to work with, she had a great sense of humour along with a beautiful smile. I have never forgotten a cool joke/prank she did at work. It was so fantastic I will probably never forget it.

A devastating blow to all who loved you. Lives are forever changed now. Rest in peace . Aunt Sue.
