Gloria passed away peacefully in her sleep on Saturday, 21 June 2025, after a brief battle with cancer. She lived her retirement years with vitality, cherishing every moment on the bowling green. Known for her sharp sense of humour and competitive spirit, she brought fun and energy to all who knew her until the end. She will be deeply missed and forever remembered by her family and friends.

Sincere thanks to all at Waipuna Hospice and Bob Owens Retirement Village for their amazing care of Gloria. In accordance with Gloria’s wishes a private service has taken place.
