Laurene O'CONNOR Obituary

Will be missed by many

Laurene......(The Canteen Lady)

Almost 20 years ago we moved from a small town to Manurewa. My husband had got a job as caretaker at JC. I was a scared small town girl in a big city.
You were my first friend!!!!
You taught me where the best place to shop was - which kindie to send the kids to - how to fit in and when I was homesick you had a cure for that as well
You loved and spoiled my children like they were your own and they loved you.

You became a person I respected loved and looked to for advice knowing you would never judge me. We were truly privileged to have known you

They say friends are kisses blown to us by angels and Laurene we are truly lucky you were blown our way.
You touched our lives and taught us so much "Thank you" doesn't seem big enough but all I can think to say. We will not forget you.

Carleen, John Connell and Shalbie

A truly wonderful woman. Always so wise and thoughtful. She will always have a special place in our hearts. With love always Andrew Alex Maggie Harriet and Isabella xx

Our thoughts are with you, Laurene is lovingly remembered by us as a wonderful neighbour, an amazing mother, wife and nana to you all. Take comfort in knowing that now you have a special guardian angel to watch over you.
Much love from us all, Stephen, Jan, Logan, Olivia, Maddison and Ginny Swart. XX

To Laurene's family I send my condolences. A bigger heart she couldn't have had, such a loyal and wonderful colleague to all at JCHS. Rest in peace now and may the angels watch over your family always.
