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.

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.
