Barbara McRAE Obituary

At home, on Friday, March 22, 2024, aged 91 years. Gone to be with Bud, and her beloved Pat. Loved Mum and mother-in-law of *Pat, Ellyn (Oamaru), Liz and Mac (Wellington), and loved Nana of all her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Loved sister and sister-in-law of *Gwen and *Rangi TeTau, Shirley and *Ross Davies (Hastings), Jan Love and Wayne Ranga (Melbourne), and loved auntie of all her nieces and nephews. A service will be held in Southern Funeral Home Chapel, 106 Hokonui Drive, Gore, on Tuesday, March 26, at 2.00pm, with a cuppa to follow, before leaving for the interment at Charlton Park. Donations may be left at service for Hospice Southland. Barbara loved her many friends, and the town of Gore, not forgetting the many dogs and goats, that benefited from her lolly bag on her postie run. A huge thank you to Biddy, who has been amazing over the years. Thank you to all the fabulous staff at Hospice Southland, Gore Medical Centre, La Hoods Pharmacy, and RDNS, who made Barbara's last week's comfortable. Messages to 36a Eccles Street, Gore 9710.

Having grown up in the Te Ureweras , where the bush and rivers are entwined with my life .
I see it as a fitting memorial , to have native trees planted in this little lady´s memory .
One each for her grandchildren, great grandchildren, great great grandchildren and myself.

Once you stood like a totara tree
Proud and noble strong and free .....

Auntie Barbara, God answered your prayers.
You were mum's friend and Nana Duncan's for many years. The love and support and the kindness you always showed will never be forgotten. I know you'll now be in good hands, and the love from others passed. You'll all be watching and waiting till we see you again. Lots of love from Raquel, and myself Glenn Rae. Our favourite postie, you never changed in our hearts or minds. loving and always steadfast in your beliefs.

Will never forget those Saturday mornings at Nana´s when Aunty Barbara would ride in from her morning post to have a cup of tea and pikelets. Wonderful lady with amazing stories and life.
Big hugs to Lizette and family.
