Jacqueline HAMON Obituary

HAMON, Jacqueline (nee Potae). He Aitua! He Aitua! Kua hinga he Totara I te Wao Nui a Tane. The whanau of Jacqueline Hamon (nee Potae) of Kennedy Bay are saddened to announce the passing of a cherished taonga at Waikato Hospital on Tuesday 10 September 2024 following a short illness. Loved wife of the late Eric Melvin Hamon, survived by her sons Evan and Nick, her mokopuna Bobbi-Jo, Hikiana, Tommy-Lee, Harley, Safron, Elleson and Hazel, her mokopuna tuarua and her beloved brother Maku. Favourite Aunty of many. Jacqui will lie in state at Rakairoa Marae, Harataunga (Kennedy Bay) from midday Thursday 12 September, with her final service to be held Monday 16 September, at 11am, followed by burial at her whanau urupa. Ka horo te tihi ki Konaki. Ka tu ia o Omoho. Whakapapa pounamu te moana o Harataunga. Hoatu ki a Ihu. Moe mai e hika! The summit of Konaki has crumbled. The Omoho river has stopped. The great lineage of Harataunga has been returned to Jesus. Rest!

My Queen of Ngati Porou ki Harataunga has gone and with it an understanding that she is free of pain and suffering in her final moments, only to leave us here to miss her until we see her again. I will always remember aunty in the most positive ways as an understanding, intellectual, caring naturalistic portrayal of what our world in Harataunga means to us. Go well my aunty, until we meet again. I will celebrate you and your life from this day forward. Here is my poem for you today. Nature has a mysterious way of bringing forth the day, in all its glory to tell a story, knowing it will portray, the patterned lands, the artists hands, the vision clearly seen, beneath my art my inspiration lies where Tipuna have already been. RIP x x
