Angela MCKINSTRY Obituary

McKINSTRY, Angela Mary. It is with great sadness and shock that we announce the tragic and unexpected death of Ange on 13 January 2022, aged 61 years, due to a medical episode whilst in Wellington. Ange was the loved and eldest daughter of Rosemary and the late Garry McKinstry and long-term soul mate of Riv Welch. Favourite niece of Aunty Wendy. Beloved Sister to Philip, James and the late Fiona Fox. Treasured Aunty of Lucy, Abby, Josef and Hamish. Ange lived life to the fullest, and will be fondly remembered for her warmth, sense of humour and generosity of spirit. She was the love of our lives and will be sorely missed by all those who were touched by her. Rest in Peace. A Requiem Mass will be held at the Catholic Church, Our Lady Star of the Sea, 24 Picton Street, Howick, Auckland on Friday, 28 January at 11:00am. Vaccine passes will be required for entry.

What a shock to you all. Ange was such a fun, vibrant woman with a winning smile. Socially distant hugs to Riv.

Sending our love and deepest sympathy to Angela's family and friends. We remember when Angela visited Matamata and Tauranga when she came to visit Roland (Roly) and Jeannette (Nette) Cotter (Monica's brother and sister). Angela was always so alive and happy. She will be very sadly missed. Until we meet again Angela, may you be held in the palm of God's hand. Our thoughts, prayers and God's blessings are with you. From the Phil and Hilda Cotter families.

Dearest Angela , I am just so grateful I got to see you again when I visited from Australia around 5 years back. Prior to that, having moved to Australia when you were only about 7 , I hadn´t seen you again since you were a little child . Some of my most fondest childhood memories are of being invited to stay at your house when I was at boarding school in Auckland and being permitted to baby sit you when your parents were having dinner parties. I still remember their blue and white China . You were the most beautiful baby and I loved you . You had the most beautiful brown eyes and gorgeous brown curls . It was like having a living doll that was all mine for a little while as I was only 10 at the time . Memories of you as a baby and staying a weekend at your house are imprinted on my mind forever . Please tell uncle Gary I miss him and love him You are going to be so missed by your lovely mother , my Auntie Rosemary , your whole family, your Uncle Brian, and all whose lives you touched so hugely and deeply
