Annette CASTLES Obituary
(nee Mackay):
The sun rose on 21 October 1949, and set 70 years later on 21 March 2020. Dearly loved wife and soulmate of Robert; dearly loved Mother, Mother-in-law and Nanna of Jaye and Joe Nutting and their children Tayla, Brodie, and Harper (Cromwell), Glyn and Janine and their children Rico, Brock, and Trey, Blair and Naomi and their children Stella, Amy and Tegan (all of Dannevirke). The family appreciated the love and care from Dr Abigail Ward and the nurses from Dannevirke Community Hospital. In lieu of flowers donations to the hospital's Comfort Fund are welcome and may be left at the service. Due to the current situation the family have decided to have an open air celebration on the lawn at Annette and Robert's home, 24 Cowper Road, Dannevirke on Friday 27 March at 11am. The interment will take place at the Ormondville Cemetery at 3pm. Annette's wish is for you to wear items of colour to celebrate her life. A memorial book may be signed in the days leading up to the service at Tararua Funerals, 51 Denmark Street. If you choose/are unable to attend because of the current restrictions, please email messages to

My deepest sympathies to Annette's family on her sudden passing. I first met Annette at Ardmore in 1967 and have connected with her again throughout the years in education and friendship forums. She was always a bright star with a positive outlook and everyone will miss her greatly.

Dear Robert, Jaye, Glyn, Blair and your lovely families,
Condolences to all of you.
Words will not make Annette's loss any easier, but know we are feeling for you.
Sorry we can't be with you to honour such a wonderful lady. The world has lost an amazing woman, a devoted teacher, a funny story teller and an absolute hard case.
She was loved by us as our sister-in-law and a great friend.
Love to you all always,

To the Castles family, especially Robert, Jaye, Glyn and Blair. So sorry to hear about Annette. So sudden and severe. Wish I could be with you. Maybe when the craziness is over. In the meantime take care. Glenys.
