Daughter of the late Wally and Ellen Lubbock of Pukekohe, sister of Graham, Judy (deceased) Bob (deceased), Marion Bedford (deceased). Special sister in law to Michael Bedford, Jan and Blanche Lubbock and very caring and supportive Aunty to her nieces and nephews, and their children. Nana Helen to Julius, Lucien and Xavier Kite of Raglan, and precious 'udder mudder' to 'her kid' Rosemary for over 60 years. Long time trusted friend of Maureen and Robbie, and caring neighbour of Gaynor.
