Joan de REEPER Obituary

Joan passed peacefully on February 24, 2026, aged 82 years. Loved wife of the late Carel de Reeper. Loved mother of Sharon de Reeper-Armstrong and Mark de Reeper; and mother-in-law of Jeff and Megann. Loved Oma of Brooke, Karly, Taylor, Joel, Caitlin, Joshua, Cameron, and all her great-grandchildren. Loved sister of Roger, Ken (dec), Min, and Maggie; and sister-in-law of Jos, Lin, Lindsay, and Colin. Joan's wishes were for no fuss or service. She also made the generous decision to bequeath her body to science. In lieu of flowers, donations to Hospice Southland would be appreciated. The family will be hosting an informal gathering on Friday, February 27 at 31 Hardy Street, Invercargill, from 10.00am until 3.00pm. Come along and share a story, have a laugh, and maybe shed a tear or two. Messages can be left on Joan's tribute page at distinctfunerals.co.nz
