My heart is heavy as I say goodbye to my Maureen, you were more than my wife, you were the centre of my world through all our ups and downs. Everyday we shared was filled with memories I will hold onto forever. We built a life of memories I will hold onto tightly now you are gone. I will miss your strength in the hard times and the yelling when I needed it. Thank you for every moment, for every sunrise shared, every burden carried together, and every simple joy that now shines brighter in your memory. Rest now in peace, Your Wazza.

Very sad to hear of Maureens passing,my condolences to her family and my aroha to my old workmate Warren

Sending hugs to all

Hold those happy memories close to your heart.
Her wings will tickle you on tough days
Her way of letting you know she´s still close by.

A very hard journey on her side and from your side.

Dearest Maureen, it breaks our hearts to share that God gave you wings on Saturday, May 10. You will be forever missed. Loved sister and sister-in-law of Judy and the late John Whipps. Amazing aunt to Daryl and Wanda Whipps, Donna and Steve Brinsdon. Great-aunt to Jodie, Shayden and Gerogia, Ashlee and Dylan, Alex, and Haley, Brittney and Jas, Shea and Jodie. Great-Great-Aunty to Weston, and Lily, Holland, Skyla, and Harvey.

My heart is broken as I write about the passing of my beautiful sister and best friend. Maureen had a rare gift, she made life gentler just by being part of it. She had a way of making everyone feel seen, heard, and loved… and she wasn't afraid to call you out if you stepped out of line! To me, she was more than a sister, she was my anchor, my laughter through the storms, my safe haven, and my closest mate. We shared a lifetime of memories, secrets, and love, something only sisters can truly understand. Her presence lit up the darkest days, and her absence now leaves a silence I don't know how to fill.

I will miss you every single day.
Until we meet again,
Your loving sister and best mate,
Sharron.

Our treasured Aunty M, passed away peacefully on May 10, 2025 leaving behind a legacy of love, laughter, and unforgettable memories and maybe a telling off or two. As her nieces and nephews, we were truly blessed to have her in our lives. She was our favourite Aunty, our airport pick up person, our storyteller, and our biggest cheerleader. Her strength, kindness, and cheeky wit will stay with us always.

Loved beyond words, missed beyond measure.

Forever in our hearts - her nieces and nephews; Alana, Sharna, Lucas, Jordan and Regina Adolphe (Australia).

Forever our Aunty M, We love you forever xo
