You’re a beautiful memory now. I think I hear you call out DenDen as you walk past on your way to somewhere, your hand raised in a greeting, a cheeky grin on your face. Gone from our sight bit not from our hearts.

Queenie Grace May Russell (nee Marriner) born on 19 September 1940 and died Monday 02nd October 2023 aged 83. Daughter of Minirapa (Charles) Marriner and Isabel Rose (Cookie) Marriner (nee Peters). Wife of Late Husband Graham Llyod Russell or Birdie to most. Daughter, Wife, Sister, Mum, Nan, Aunty, Cousin and so much more to so many. You will be remembered for your kindness and strength. Small in stature but more courageous than most. You will be welcomed on the other side by all those who have gone before you, including Birdie who will no doubt be complaining that you took too long. Your hands have been so busy for 83 years. Caring for so many and seldom idle. Your smile and laugh will not be forgotten. You will hold a place in our hearts forever and we will miss you. We know you will be watching with peace and love. Ka heke te roimata me te hūpē, ka ea te mate.
