Tauranga activist Colleen Spiro remembered as 'warrior for the needy'
A "warrior for the needy and disadvantaged" and a "relentless" woman who fought for people who couldn't fight for themselves.
That's how Tauranga activist and community volunteer Colleen Spiro is being remembered after her death on Sunday, aged 67.
She had long-term health battles but her passing came as a shock to some who loved her.
Spiro was known for her many efforts to help Tauranga's homeless as well as for being outspoken on various council issues, speaking up for Māori and protesting against racism.
