Shona CLARKE Obituary

I'm absolutely devasted and lost for words to hear of a beautiful women, sister and wahine toa I worked with in the mental health movement, our consumer advisory, our National advisory and our Like Minds Like Mine programme for over the last 18years.

Our heart and aroha to the Clarke whanau at this time. Shona you were a champion, leader, voice and a very special person who touched so many lives. Moe mai Moe mai Moe mai ra e hoa. a beautiful send off it was e hoa. Fly free xo

Shona was a lovely being who I got to meet when we were younger as a passionate teen on the governance board for the Werry Centre. She was a great allie who made sure teens were well represented. Shona used her experiences for positive change and I'm sure will be missed.

I'll miss your smile and kindness xo

It was with deep regret that I heard of Shona's passing and I would like to send my sincerest sympathy to Shona's family, friends and colleagues. Shona was a lovely, smart, sassy, intelligent young person who had the ability to aim for the stars and to reach them. She was highly regarded by her peers and fellow associates and a lovely person to boot. Shona has gone too soon she still had so much to give. Wishing you all God's every blessing may he comfort you in your time of sorry

peace to you

Shona was an important part of my journey learning to see the value of experience and using that with an intent to help others. Her enthusiasm was contagious and her encouragement warm and kind. I will forever view my interactions with her as building a part of who I am today. I am sad that more people will not get to meet Shona, and I am glad I had the chance.

I hope you found peace, love Rachel xx

Shona, we had a lot of fun. You were always up for silliness, a very fine character trait. I'll miss your laugh and wish you could have stayed a bit longer. We've all lost a lovely soul. Love you xxx

Farewell Shona, I wish you were able to recognise the impact that your compassion and humour had on the world. Those of us left behind can see it clearly. You will be sorely missed.

I was lucky to work with and know Shona as a friend and colleague. Shona was a person who cared deeply about others. She was a brave and resilient person despite the pain she experienced, and always made the time to be kind. I will miss her. I am so sad that this world will not get to continue to benefit from her passion and advocacy for social change. She was one in a million. My condolences to her family, in this difficult time.

Dear Shona such a lovely beautiful person. I have happy memories of her growin up years learning the piano with me. I feel privileged to have known her. Our condolences to Neville, Carol and Kylie. Such a tragic loss, Betty and Doug Noffke

Shona made a difference in the world while she was here with us. Such a tragic loss. My condolences to family and friends. I am privileged to have had the chance to see this woman work and I will forever miss hatching plans for social change with her.
