Lynn PERRY Obituary
Passed away surrounded by sister, daughter, son and husband at Palmerston North Hospital from the effects of interstitial lung disease; finally being at peace, but gone far too soon. She was a kind and gentle spirit; a mother to Evelyn and Edward, a grandmother to Emira, a mother-in-law to Dorothy, a sister to June and a wife of 49 years to Paul. She left her mark on the world as a teacher, a volunteer with refugees and the Red Cross and in her younger days as a champion baton twirler. A memorial service will be held later this year. Following her wishes her ashes are to be scattered in her beloved Hawaii. Messages for Lynn's family can be left at: robertjcotton.co.nz/funerals Our thanks for all the kind thoughts and gestures from people who knew her. The family can be contacted at home.

Lynn was so brave and accepting throughout her long illness. She never lost her interest in others or her gentle spirit. I really miss my dear friend. We met in Playcentre over 40 years ago and bonded over our shared circumstances. Both ex-pats with young children and husbands at Massey. We have shared our lives ever since with lunchtime meetings, Thanksgiving celebrations, family weddings, Tai Chi, shared books and movies and so much more. We knew each other for most of my time in New Zealand and have shared so much of our lives. Lynn leaves a big hole in so many lives. My love and condolences to Lynn´s family.
