Joanne LOVERIDGE Obituary

I sent my massage recently, but I now have doubts that the Joanne Loveridge in this case is the one I knew. Could you please let me know if your Joanne was employed by Harcourts, Taumarunui, as a property manager.
I am sorry to bother you in this way, but the answer might be of great importance to me.
If you prefer you could phone me on 0272781837.
Regards and condolences,
Chris Davies

I am so sorry for your loss.

Joanne and a colleague had the vision to set up services for people under 65 who are living with dementia. The YODAT (Younger Onset Dementia Aotearoa Trust) was formed. Joanne and I went on to develop the YODAT Day Service where Joanne's passion, commitment and compassion were an integral part of getting it off the ground. She set up the volunteer network and wrote several policies to keep the participants safe while having fun. She had a heart of gold, was generous with her time and talent and gave all inclusive aroha with open arms and an open door.
The YODAT Board and Day Service send aroha and sympathy to Warren, Joanne's children and partners, grandchildren, great grandchildren and her siblings.

A much loved cousin, whose journey through life connected with mine in many ways. We shared so many happy moments with our families. I was often included as one of the "girls", always enjoying fun and laughter with my "sisters". Such an integral part of our family, you will be missed very much Joanne - caring , loving, and putting family first. As is mentioned on a very special headstone, "Families are Forever". Love always. Linda.

Thinking about you and sorry I can´t be there with Warren family and friends to remember Joanne. I have a deep respect and gratitude for her determination and commitment to providing support for Rob and myself through YODAT. It meant that Rob could be at home longer than I imagined possible. You are a star Joanne x

I remember you from many years ago when our children were little and you lived next door to Chris and Terry. I was hoping you were still in Nelson when we moved here but unfortunately you'd gone. Condolences to your family, Elaine

An amazing woman and great friend who cared so much for those she loved. So hard to think that she's left us. Deepest sympathy to her family at a time of such deep sadness.

A great friend since nursing days in Upper Hutt. An amazing inspiring woman who achieved so much and touched so many lives. Very grateful for our friendship and the good and no so good times shared. Joanne will be missed and always loved. Condolences to Warren and the family.
