Margaret REA Obituary

Thinking of you all today - I know Margaret was very loved and carried such a fun spirit of life, which really impacted everyone she met. We only had the privilege of meeting her a few times, but felt like we had known her for a lifetime - she truly did know how to connect with people and make them feel loved and valued.

Tess, Adam and Matt, you are in our hearts especially today and over these next days, weeks and months - Marg will be greatly missed by you, I know!

Much, much love, many prayers and thoughts being sent your way today xxx

Truly sorry to hear of the loss of such a wonderful lady. "Those we love remain with us for love itself lives on, and cherished memories never fade because a loved one´s gone. Those we love can never be more that a thought apart. For as long there is a memory, they´ll live on in our hearts"

In loving memory of Margaret. I will miss your happy face that brightened a room when you smiled, and your infectious laugh. Thanks for the many memories I will hold dear and the wonderful connections you made for me. You will always be in my heart. Rest in peace.

"In a world where you can be anything, be kind" ..... not my words, but they could have been spoken by Margaret because she was kind and loving. I had hoped to see her later this year, sadly it was not meant to be. I will enjoy hearing more about her though, when l visit Tess and my sister Ness. Sent with much love to you all and thank you for Margaret's time here, a beam of beautiful light in this world. Love Louise x

Loving memories of a beautiful lady. We are so lucky to have had you as part of our whanau. You will be missed and loved always. Suzette x

Margie Nic - you always said you knew me when I was morning sickness. You and my mum, Bett, were best friends as young maternity nurses in the 50s. You delivered us - Karen, Susan, Peter and Diane, and you were godmother to me and Suzie.
You were a ray of sunshine in our lives and we adored you.

Over 50 years ago when Rusty started courting me you said to Bett, "What do we have here?" Then, for the past 30-odd years you and Rusty have sent the same Valentine´s card back and forth to each other. It´s got coffee stains and the corners are furry now but the love was always clear and strong.

You´ve been a dear friend, surrogate mum, and a special part of our extended family. Our kids, their partners and our grandchildren loved you because you were always interested in them. You loved our friends . . . and we´ll never forget your funny, recent Gordon Ramsay moment (f@#$%n tarragon!)

Love you long time, Margie Nic. So many good memories.
Karen Watt & Rusty Ritchie

Dear Margaret . . . you'll always be my Valentine!

How the years pass without seeing the special people that are in our thoughts so often only after those people have gone do we realise just how special they really were and are love always Marg will miss hearing about you love Gaz
