I first meet Heather around 3 years ago she always came in for help with her Kia which she always said far to much technology for me she always enjoyed our conversations and one thing I will always remember her for was I said I am getting a tattoo of my daughters birthday and time born which she says no don't do that lol so next time I saw her I showed her and she grabbed my arm and said can I rub it off lol best laugh ever it was amazing to get to know you will miss your smile and cheakyness

Dear Geoff and family We were deeply saddened to hear of Heather's sudden passing. She always had a smile and a big heart was full of kindness. We've been overseas and only just learned of this heartbreaking news. We send our sincerest condolences. Our thoughts are with you all during this incredibly difficult time. With heartfelt sympathy Chinny and Karen

Geoff, Aidan, Natasha and Families What a beautiful tribute to such a lovely lady. Geoff I have managed to watch it this afternoon and so sorry I couldn't be there on the day but Unfortaunaley was unwell. Heather was an exceptional lady and the tribute from Suzi was so true Heather made you feel special whenever you meet her whether it was getting haircut, playing sport or just catching up in the street, she just had a very special way about her. In 1979 when you moved back to Stratford Heather put a kitchen tea on for me in June. I have never forgotten that. You folk now have to adjust life without a lovely wife partner/mother it will not be easy but the memories will live on for ever Heather would have made sure of that. I am so thankful the last 6 months I have spoken with Heather a number of times and was able to see here just before Christmas at Marks funeral. God Bless you all. Sending Bigs hugs Geoff. Love Joan and Bruce Coffey Morrinsville

Dear Geoff and family. It was with deep shock and sadness to hear of Heather’s passing. We didn’t know her for long but the time we did leaves loving and lasting memories. She always visited when we stayed at our Aunty Thelma’s in Vogeltown. You have both been wonderful support for her. Heather often took her out shopping and for lunch and when we were staying from Tauranga she would visit. She was partial to sweets and biscuits I would bring down and we always enjoyed a cup of coffee and chat. We know how much Thelma enjoyed her company and so appreciated what she did for her. We watched the funeral from here in Tauranga and it was awesome, amazing, wonderful, funny, heartwarming and so Heather. We would loved to have come down for her life celebration but were unable to.Heather will be so sadly missed as she leaves a huge void in so many of the lives she touched. With much love and thoughts from Helen and Shirley from Tauranga.

Geoff,Aiden,Natasha and Family, so sorry to hear of Heather passing away. She was a very special Lady with a big heart. So pleased Gary and I got to catch up with you both whe n we stayed in New Plymouth in November. RIP Heather.🌹

Dear Geoff, Aidan, Natasha and families, I will always remember Heather as my dearest, vibrant, and beautiful friend. We shared years of history, and distance was never an obstacle for us. Together, we cried, laughed, and explored our deepest thoughts and feelings. Every trip to New Zealand would include a call or a visit with the wonderful Rodley family. Heather was the most giving and caring person I knew, always treating everyone with kindness. She dedicated herself to helping those in need, giving her all in everything she did. When my parents were still with us, Heather took care of them, visiting daily and offering her support. She truly was a gift that kept on giving. My beloved, beautiful, and joyful Heather, my visits to New Zealand will never be the same without you. I love you, Darling. Fly high until I can join you. Kyra Black (Gilbert).

I was greatly shocked to hear of Heather's passing. I knew her for 50 + years. We met each month, I will miss her company so much.

Condolences to all the family for the loss of Heather. Was a great shock to hear of her passing, Heather did our hair cuts and was a great support to us, (especially me Sheryll) on ways to cope with my health issues and everyday mental health struggles. Heather you will be sadly missed.

Dear Geoff,Aidan and Natasha From our very first meeting with Heather Lindsay at Brian Corkins 21st in Petone it was obvious she would one day be Mrs Heather Rodley especially arriving bedecked in beloved Stratford rugby jersey!!! Our long. association grew from that night and many enlightening times were shared!!! Heather was never wrong and I was always right....made for some interesting debates!!! Geoff,Aidan and Natasha you have parted from your inspirational matriarch but she leaves you so much. Our Love Bob & Rosalie
