Marion was my mother's cousin (Betty Keene). I met her when my mother got cancer. She visited her regularly and gave her quiet, understated support. As children, their properties in Remuera bounded each other so they played together often. Marion's mother, Edith, delivered my mother at 10 Lingarth St. Marion told me her mother left her home in Ireland when 16 and never returned. Her original destination was Australia but, apparently, cousins in NZ persuaded her to move over the Tasman. I asked Marion how her mother felt to leave Ireland and never see her parents again. Marion said, "When she received news of her mother's death, it was one of the few times I saw her cry." I will always remember her kindness to Betty in her time of need.
