Shirley was a true example of grace and dignity and a dear sister-in-law and friend to Margaret.

Dear Craig Andrew Grant Joanne and families! Our thoughts are with you all at this time. We have wonderful memories of growing up together in New Plymouth and all the stories of yours and our dad’s voyage to Australia and then the special bonds of both of our grandparents before that! Now you lay your dear faithful mother to rest and what a lovely gracious wise lady she has been all through the years. You will surely miss her presence as we too will. Special love from Denise (Brough) and Ralph Newman

Our sincere condolences on the sad loss of a loved mother and grandmother. Our thoughts are with the family and we hope that the wonderful memories provide comfort. Aunty Shirley is at peace and reunited with Uncle Graham. Kind regards. Peter Meads and David Meads - Auckland
