MORIARTY, Vaoala Patricia (nee Hickey). Born 1st November 1933. Mum came to rest peacefully on her 88th birthday, the 1st November 2021. She finally gets to dance with her loving late husband, Michael. Mum's life continues through her daughter Anita, the late and awesome Jeffery, and Michael. Her spirit lives in 9 grandchildren, 18 great grandchildren and 3 great great grandchildren, with spring still in the air. Mum forged a life of hard work, joyous play, and putting others first...values that we live by every day. A deeply loving woman, fearlessly independent with perception, fiercely loyal and protective, and unashamedly unapologetic. Her funeral will be held on Wednesday the 10th November 2021 at 11am, under these current conditions. The service will be live streamed here. If you would like to visit mum, she is resting in peace at Davis Funerals, 400 Dominion Road, Mount Eden. Please contact sweehan@davisfunerals.co.nz for visiting hours.
