WARD, June Mary (nee Bevan-Brown)

Died peacefully on the morning of February 4, 2023, at the Oakwoods Retirement Village in Richmond, Nelson, aged 94 years. Daughter of the late Maurice and Elsie Bevan-Brown and much loved younger sister of the late Ruth Tinga. June was adored by her late husband Joe Ward, is the dearly loved mother of Diana, Rosi (dec.), Virginia, Rachel and Paul, aunt of Annemarie and Robin, much loved by a large extended family of Caplens, Turnbulls, Andersons, Hydes, Tingas, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, and by the many friends and carers at Oakwoods. As the family do not live nearby, a private cremation has taken place. A memorial gathering will be arranged at a later date to celebrate June’s life.
