HOOPER, Jill Annette (nee Kennedy)

It is with great sadness that Jill, our generous and unapologetic matriarch has passed peacefully at home on Tuesday 15th November 2022. Jill’s wicked sense of humour and illuminating vibrancy that has rippled through the South Taranaki community, will be dearly missed by those lucky enough to have been in her presence. Jill’s husband and soulmate Irwin; brother, Graeme; children, Michelle, Aaron and Judy; grandchildren, Jade, Cory, Jordan, Mckensie and Riley, great-granddaughter; Maia, will cherish the memories and blueprint of how to live a wonderful life, created by Jill. Our Queen Jill, who had a personality larger and louder than life itself, wanted everyone to celebrate her life whilst she parties with a bottle of red wine in one hand and a ciggie in the other above us. Before passing, Jill requested for everyone to wear their most colourful clothing and bright dresses to her funeral – a true reflection of her character and vivacious spirit. We invite you to bring your smiles and dancing shoes as we honour Jill’s life at the TSB Hub, Camberwell Road, Hawera, on Sunday 20th November 2022, commencing at 11am. If you are unable to attend Jill’s celebration, a livestream will be available on her tribute page www.hardingsfunerals.co.nz...
