HASTINGS, Gillian (Jill) Patricia. Born on 6th of March 1943. Jill passed away peacefully in the early hours of Friday 19th of September 2025 in Whangārei Hospital after a short illness. Jill was a loving Mother, Grandmother and Great Grandmother. Such a vibrant and social person. She was loved by so many. She will leave a huge void in all of our lives, but will live on in our memories for eternity. A special thank you to the doctors and Nurses of ward 3 and 4, Whangarei Hospital. Their professionalism and compassion in caring for Jill in her final days, was simply outstanding. A service has been held in Jill's Honour. Moe Mai ra.
