A lovely positive person, online and in person....voyage on with your relish and love of life!

You will be forever missed, always remembered and your memories will live on . You taught me many things in life and I’m so glad to be able to pass them onto Kyra and Connor . I will miss the times of doing things together, talking about everything and everything for hours . You were always pleased to see me. It a bit empty without you now. You were a great mother and a special person🌹 Love your daughter Kerry💕

We had many great chats over the fence in the time we knew eachother. Our family will always remember you for your kindness and friendly talks. Rest in love and peace our dear friend! ❤️

Thankyou Barbara for all your lovely lemons and scones and your lovey smile and attitude to life. it was always a great day when I got to have a chat over a cup of tea I will miss you greatly. Hope where you are is filled with sunshine and lots of flowers

She was a very good lay preacher. And socially enjoyable when attending groups she was part of.

We only knew each other from recent times but we had some lovely chats and outings together. I look forward to meeting again in heaven dear friend 💖 My prayer for family left behind is for comfort and the sure knowledge that through Jesus you will see her again Kind wishes from Sharyn

We enjoyed Barbara’s company whenever we were in Wellington, meeting to go to the theatre and having a meal before or afterwards Occasionally we stayed with Barbara., also she stayed with us when in Christchurch Thank you Barbara Judy and Eric

Another photo to add to Barbara's visit to see us in South Gippsland, Bass coast area at kilcunda.

Our very dear friend Barbara. What can we say. So many memories, back to Naenae church of Christ days. Your visit to see us with Gary before your trip by train to Sth Australia, and your recent trip to Melbourne where we met you Ani, and a Neice at San Remo for the feeding of the Pelicans. This was followed up by afternoon tea at our place at Kilcunda. Where we took photos also. Then your trip back to Melbourne. We will cherish this visit you made. Rest in peace dear friend, and we know you will at last be out of pain and in the hands of Jesus.

While I only met Barbs once in person, Ani always kept me updated and kindly sent greetings on my behalf to her when they were together or via phone. Barbs, Ani and myself shared the most beautiful walk on one of her visits to Melbourne. We went to the Melbourne Botanic Gardens and had a lovely wander through various gardens and displays. Her love of nature was joyful and her outlook on life reflected her appreciation for the world and her dedication to God. Ani always said she could turn even the toughest of moments around with gratitude and a smile. Barbs, I’m so thankful I was able to know you, even if it was mostly via FaceTime and text message! I’m also thankful you brought one of my best friends into this world. I know without a doubt that your kindness, compassion, and celebration of nature will live on through Ani. I’m glad you are at peace now with God.

Oh mum. I am so heartbroken you are gone. I am going to miss our chats, our laughs, our Sunday drives, our cups of tea and wandering around your garden looking at all your beautiful flowers. You were such a wonderful mum and your passing leaves a giant void in my heart. I will fill it with all the beautiful memories I have of our time together. I am glad you are no longer in pain, and you're now at peace, with god, and all your loved ones who crossed over before you. Until we meet again... 💕🌸

Farewell my dear Aunty. I will always remember you for your positive, bubbly outlook, warm smile and always, always having your hair done and lipstick on! You will be very sadly missed by all that knew you. Sending love to Ani, Kerry, and family at this very sad time. Denise, Reece, and Zara xx
