And much loved nana to Tony Campbell, Airini-Zoy and Nolan Burnett; Isaac and Maehe Austin; Brianna, Edward and Liam Boxall; Peta, Te Paea, Kiwa-Lee, Campbell and Te Rangitere Taurima; and Shawn Dickson and Stevie-Ray Jury.
She was the quiet strength of our whānau and although her place can never be filled, we know that she lives on in her children and mokopuna. A funeral service will be held on Tuesday 28 April 2026 at Tuahuru marae, Mahia at 11am followed by interment   Ruawharawhara urupa, Opoutama.
