Gabrielle BARNETT Obituary

BARNETT, Gabrielle Maria (Gae) (nee Dragicevich). Age 75 of Stanmore Bay and formerly of Dargaville, passed away on May 30th, 2020. Born June 8th, 1944, in Dargaville, she was preceded in death by her parents, Mate and Nora Dragicevich, her sister, Maureen, and her husband, Gary. She is survived by her brother, Michael Dragicevich, and three sons, Mark Barnett of Dargaville, Matt (Nikki) Barnett of Pittsburgh, PA and Scott Barnett of Auckland's North Shore, grandchildren Jack Barnett of Auckland's North Shore and Olivia Barnett of Pittsburgh, PA. Perky and attentive, Gae was also known to carry a hardship and deal with it internally with grace and dignity. A jasmine vine was always at her home with a cutting frequently placed on the windowsill. Long term tenure at Feltex, Able Cooke and Premium Real Estate. Also made a mean rice pudding. Remembering the late 1980s summer evening ride home from Baylys Beach covered in sand and sacks of Tuatuas as Mate drove us all packed into his tiny Ford Anglia and putting thumb-a-lift Muka Bowman in the boot at Mangawhare... too Kiwi, we will all ride again! Special thanks to her brother Mike, longtime friends Colleen Kidd, Jane Guy, and to the residents of Angel Way. Due to current isolation regulations regarding incoming family, funeral notice to follow.

Hi Lynne, I know Auntie Jessie and Nora spent a load of time together, the two of them would take Scott and I to the Dargaville Pools on warm and bright summer school holiday days in a Vauxhall Viva, and Auntie Jessie baby-sat us at Mate & Nora's house a few times - heck I remember Scott and I having sleepover at Auntie Jessie's house and her bathing us in a concrete tub then putting us into beds with heavily starched white sheets. Uncle Trevor had a large pencil collection and he would allow Scott and I to go through it on the floor of the room that was between the bedrooms and the kitchen - very poignant memories of Auntie Jessie and Uncle Trevor, I'll be visiting her grave when we're at Mt. Wesley on Friday 6/26 and 6/27. One last thing - I still have my baby blanket that Auntie Jessie made for me! When my daughter Olivia was born we wrapped her in that baby blanket to bring her home from NS Hospital.
Love to all, Matt, Nikki and Olivia. xoxo
