Isabell and the Campbell family graciously opened their home to so many of us in the Hangaroa, Tiniroto, Tahunga, Waerenga-o-Kuri, area. Isabell will be fondly remembered, especially for having the children each Sunday morning for Sunday School with Andrew, followed up with a mug of crunchy top Milo which my boys keenly remember. Isabell instigated many Christmas nativity plays with her Sunday School children and families and performed at several parishes around the Gisborne district. Isabell was a true servant of God who shone love and inspiration. Thanks you for sharing your mum xx Thanks for leaving the message Megan, we are in Alaska. With love from Raewynne & Merv Cook, Richard, Peter and Duncan
To Bill, Alex, Christina, John, Margret, Andrew and family. Hangaroa will always have many memories of your family, especially your Mother. Even before we moved to Hangaroa, we knew of your family when we were living in Tiniroto. From going to the same Boarding school as Margaret, meeting Megan when she became engaged to Alex and came out to meet the Hangaroa Community, the lovely gowns that had embroidry on them and handknitted cardigans and booties that Mrs Cambell kindly gave my eldest daughter when she was born in 1990, those same gowns, Cardies and booties were handed down to my 3 other children. Mrs Campbell, you were a kind, generous and lovely lady, who always had a smile and a kind word for everyone. You will be missed by all those who's lives you have touched along the way. May you Rest in Love, Karen(nee Denton) and Joseph Granshaw, and family Barcaldine Queensland Australia
