Loved Nana and great Nana of Joel, Caleb, Sharnele and Leah, Jesse, Amanda, Zac, Cole and Maia, Daniel, Haylee and Kenny, James, Tiare, McKenna and Brady. A strong spirit, sharp intellect, a sense of humour and never-ending love for us all. Independent and ahead of her time. Dedicated teacher for over 40 years with a passion for Whanau centred education. Embroidery, knitting and crochet extraordinaire. So hard to say goodbye. We will keep watching The Chase for you. Rest In Peace now Mum with Dad and Kim. E te Mareikura, moe marika mai. Kia mu to reo, kia oti nga mahi i tenei ao, okioki atu, haere atu ra. Aroha mutunga kore. To our beloved, rest in eternal peace. Your voice is silent, your work is finished in this world, be at rest. Our love is everlasting.
