A one off. Agnes was always cheerful, funny and hospitable. A great storyteller, particularly about her childhood in Westport. Her chocolate chip biscuits were legendary. I will always remember her passionate description of a Palmerston Street bakery she worked in as a teenager, and their wonderful Eccles cakes!

Elaine has lost her best friend from the days when they were bother Students at the Buller High School and there after into married life. We watched her funeral service with tears in our eyes and we will miss her very much, we extend our love and condolences to the family. Elaine & Colin Wilson, Motueka.

Fly high up in heaven Aunty Agnes. We will miss you so much. To Jo, Glenys and Richard and families all our love. Xx Lynley and Simon Smith, Motueka

Jo, Glen and Rich, you will miss Mum so much. She was a powerhouse!! We have great memories with you all at the beach. Sending love. We’re going to watch via streaming.

AGNES LOVED HER FAMILY AS THEY LOVED HER. YOU WILL HAVE THIS IN YOUR HEARTS FOR EVER AND EVER. I WILL ALSO THINK OF HER AS A PERSON WHO WAS ALWAYS HRLPING OTHERS.
