McCURRACH, Valeria June Ritchie. Loved mother of Karen, dearly loved Nan of Cameron and Matthew, loved Nan-in-law of Kirstin and Hayley, treasured great-Nan of Calvin, Jayden, Tyler, Cooper and Ivy. Nan, your love, kindness and laughter will live on in our hearts forever. Rest peacefully, we will miss you more than words can say and don't nag Pops! On a personal note from myself and her grandsons, we would like to sincerely thank Susie Davis from Driving Miss Daisy Blockhouse Bay for the kindness, compassion and genuine care she showed to both my parents over many years. I would also like to acknowledge and thank the wonderful staff in Mum's ward at the Murray Halberg Retirement Village for their dedication, support and care.
