Best wishes to the Knuckey family. I still have memories of visiting your places Eltham and New Plymouth. It was wonderful to know that our parents wound up at the same place in Whalers Gate and Judith was always there for Mum and Dad. I know Mum will miss her very much.

It came a shock to me as muzza told me he was chatting with her just the other day. So I want to express my deepest love and gratitude for all that Judith and Kerry and all cousins have meant to me/us (Inglis Family) over the years in good times and bad. Judith was a beautiful soul who left me feeling loved and supported in my hard times, and we had good laugh in the good times! Thank u Judith may you rest peaceful. sadly missed much Love Justine and Muzza Inglis

So sad to hear that Judith is no longer with us on this earth. Judith was one of the first of a team of people who helped St Vincent de Paul get the Community Meals up and running. Her support and wonderful cooking, along with Kerry's great dishwashing skills :) made them a formidable team in the kitchen. I later discovered that Judith went to St Mary's College in Wellington as I did, and was part of the highly regarded Schola choir. Our own parish choir was the beneficiary of her talent. Judith's generous and gentle support of our community will be sorely missed. Sincere condolences to the family.

To Kerry, Kate, Michael, Bridget & James - Judith's passing came as quite a shock to me. Mrs Knuckey, as my siblings and I first knew her as children, when we visited the Knuckey household on Eltham Road and then years later when our families had moved to New Plymouth, stands out as one of the constant figures in the life of my Mum and Dad and as a consequence, for us as children and adults. I'll miss Judith for her bright, caring and cheerful self and her spirited and welcoming conversation. I'm very grateful and thankful for her part in our lives over so many years. My thoughts are with you. Kia Kaha.
