DUNCAN, Mary Helen. Mary passed away peacefully at her home on Sunday 14 September 2025. Dearly loved daughter of the late Edna and James Duncan. Loved friend of Anna, Jenny, Ethel, Gordon, Jo, Chris, Glenys, Gerald, and special friend to Suzanne and her family. I will miss the long chats we had, where you shared many stories about your interesting life, along with the numerous cups of tea. She will be missed by her neighbours at Kensington Park. In accordance with her wishes, a private cremation has been held. 'May the road rise to meet you. May the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face; the rains fall soft upon your fields. And until we meet again, May God hold you in the hollow of His hand.'
