MORRIS, Gwenyth Elsie (Gwen) (née Tanner)

Gwen died peacefully on 9 April 2023 at Lansdowne Park Rest Home, Masterton, aged 81. Although Gwen remained proudly Australian, she was a great advocate for ‘bright and breezy’ Palmerston North, where she lived from 1986 to 2020. Her children Ewan and Merey will remember Gwen as a person of strong determination and individuality, who loved gardens, birds, cats and books. She was nanna to Abigail and Poppy, and sister to Jean (dec), Jack (dec), Les, Nancy and her twin sister Dulcie. Wife of Roger from 1966 to 2006. In lieu of flowers, donations to Arohanui Hospice would be appreciated. A memorial service for Gwen will be held at the Beauchamp Funeral Home, 167 John F Kennedy Drive, Palmerston North, on Monday 17 April 2023 at 11.00am. A link for the webcast of the service is available on the Beauchamp Funeral Home Tribute page.
