Jinny PATRICK Obituary


PATRICK, Jinny (nee Virginia CLARK) Extraordinary wife to Bruce; thoughtful mother of Andrew and Shelley, Alasdair and Catherine, Alexandra and Carl; dedicated Nanna to Arabella, Ferguson, Giselle, Fletcher, Vittoria, Ezra, Amelie, Forrester and Edison; second mother to many, esp Grace and Ronal; and the glue that bound our family together. Despite occasional grumblings she ensured we had family meals every 2-4 weeks, now so treasured. Grandchildren will miss her creative love: backward, one-colour or hide'n'seek meals, Christmas stockings, Easter baskets and "just because" presents. We thank our friends and family for their support over the past month. We all benefited from her practical love. Jinny loved life and taught many about the importance of God, friends and family; she is now safely with our Lord. We are grateful to God she was ours for her 67 years but we will miss her ridiculously. Service: 1pm Wed 30 July, Greenlane Christian Centre. In lieu of flowers please donate in Jinny's honour to TEAR Fund or Lung Cancer research.

To Bruce and Family,
Words from me are hopelessly inadequate to help with the pain and loss you must be feeling so I simply commit myself to buy coffee some time in the next three to six months Bruce and have you tell me what you appreciated so much about Jinny. Truly a wonderful woman.
Blessings
Rob

Dear Bruce,
those are shocking news - Especially because i had to think about you two a lot in the last couple of days.
She was such a generous, polite and positive person. I am grateful that I had the opportunity to
get to know her. My deepest condolences to you and your family.
Yours Gabriel

Jinny, you were an inspiration to so many of us and lived an extraordinary life. I'm sure you fitted more into a day than most of us manage to achieve in a week (or month even). My family really appreciated your love, genuine care, and input during our time at the Tab. I (Elvina) particularly treasured the study in the library with you while I was a new Mum; your openness, honesty and "realness". I have often missed your input during the years since. To the Patrick family, I know Jinny will be so very missed. I often think of her as the perfect example of a Grandmother and Mother. Our prayers and thoughts are with you at this time. She has left a great legacy (her family). Blessings, Elvina, Peter, Jasmine & Fiorella Bier
