Willow MARTENS Obituary

MARTENS, Willow Mary. Forever in our hearts, we love and miss you our darling girl, who we tragically lost in an accident on the 29th of April, aged 3 years. Beautiful and much loved daughter of Ethan and Grace, adored older sister of Esme. Treasured granddaughter of Anton and Jane Martens and Peter and Trudy Fletcher. Cherished niece of Broc and Tallulah, James and Jess, Ruby and Kamrin, Isabella and Anthony, Oscar and Lily. Best friend and cousin of Stellah, Stevie-Rose, and Beau-Beau. Great great granddaughter to Clem Sanders, Shirley Fletcher, and Carmel Wilson. A church service will be held for our little angel at St Joseph's Catholic Church, 1 Puriri Street Helensville, on Friday 5th May at 1.30pm.
