Carleen FITZGERALD Obituary

Carleen and brother Bruce

A sad loss for Levin. Such an enthusiastic and vibrant personality in building petanque locally. Very well portrayed Brian (and Sue) in your newspaper obituary effort. I so enjoyed Carleen's smiling approach.

Very sorry to hear of Carleen's passing. My mother thought a lot of Carleen when she was managing Mum's gardens many years ago. RIP

I was so privileged to meet Carleen & Brian on my very recent visit to my Mums this November/December.
Carleen was so full of life ...she will be terribly missed.

She offered to drive me to & from the Palmerston airport as Mum has a leg wound that would have made the drive difficult to do.
We had a lovely drive, chat & coffee stop both ways.
We also went to their home for a catch up & for me to meet Brian & Bella.
My heart goes out to Brian and to their family.
Carleen will never be forgotten.
I will always remember her kindness and thoughtfulness in the brief time I was able to know her.

Best friend ever

Such great memories from pétanque Carleen. You always took your time to talk to us.
RIP

I knew you for such a short time, but you showed me such kindness. Petanque days will not be the same without you. My thoughts go to your family and all who were privileged to know you.

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

Rest in Peace Carleen, Very sad . R & C Wylie
