Hetti's family ,I bring you sincere condolences from members of The Taranaki Women's Club. Hettii was a much valued member, always with a ready smile and full of fun,. I particularly remember her with Eunice at luncheons and playing MahJong. That is a game she was skilled at and was a great support to me as a beginner. She even lent me her set to do some practice at home. Take comfort in knowing how loved and respected she was and always will be.in our thoughts of her. Our prayers will be with each of her family members throughout the days ahead. Blessings.
Dearly loved Twin sister of Ted Thomas (dec) and sister law of Bev. A very special Aunty and Godmother of Sharyn. John and I will miss our catchups and stories of old times over a cup of tea. We will also remember the times we stayed with Aunty Hetty and Sid while attending Americarna. Lots of laughs and good times will be remembered forever. Rest easy now Aunty Hetty and give Dad a huge hug from us xxx

Hetty was a well respected member of the Midhirst Branch of Rural Women NZ. Always made her home available for meetings and shared lunches. She also kept us entertained with many stories of fun happenings and events in her life. Such a beautiful personality and always immaculately dressed and someone to really admire. Rest in piece dear Hetty. Margaret Vickers Midhirst Branch of RWNZ
