My dear sister. Your beautiful spirit will always inspire me.

Raymond Mawson

Vale. My wonderful kind big sister has passed on. She was a parent to her siblings at times, her family and to the many expectant mothers she looked after In her professional life. Lucky were we.

John and Winifred Maindonald

For six and a half years in the 1970s, we lived a short distance away from the McKenzie family in Upland Road in Kelburn. We saw a great deal of Elizabeth and Bruce and their family. We have met up with Elizabeth from time to time in the intervening years, We treasure our memories of the times that we, and our families, spent together.

Brent Davies

Our thoughts are with you all. Treasure the many fond memories you have.
Brent & Doris.

Was very sad to learn of Elizabeth’s passing. She was part of a small group of us that played mahjong at the Northland community centre. We always enjoyed her compsny and was saddened when she could no longer join us. She was a member for many years. She even bought 2 of her grandchildren to play with us during the school holidays (so a whole ago now) several times. She had her favourite hands .She regularly liked to play.
I extend my sincere sympathy to her family and hope you celebrate her life with joy.
Many kind thoughts Catherine Pike.
