Mary-Rose KELLER Obituary

Sending you all love and prayers. I have many happy memories of Mary-Rose from our days in Dorset Grove. Thinking of you as you navigate life ahead without your precious mother.

I shall always remember Mary-Rose - or "Mrs Keller" as I knew her - as a very special, caring and jovial lady. A great host at birthday parties with a terrific smile and lovely personality. Sending best wishes to the entire Keller family, especially to my great primary school friend Ernst.

Auntie Mary Rose looked after us as kids growing up in Wainuiomata. One of the kindest people I ever met. Rest in Peace Auntie Mary Rose. Tony & Teresa McCarthy (and all the clan)

Very sad to hear this. I will always remember your Mum as a truly exceptional music teacher, and for her kindness and encouragement during my early musical life all those many years ago. God bless.

Much love and sympathy to you all. I have fond memories of frequent visits to your place when we were all at school together and neighbours. It was a house full of life and love, and your mum will be much missed.

Hi all of Mary Rose's family.

I have found a picture of Mum (Eileen Hickey) with Mary Rose and three of you many years ago.

Love

PS Eileen died 9 August 2018

Dear Ernst, Trudi, Mary-Therese, Josef, Hugo and Eugene. My sympathy and prayers on the loss of your dear Mum, Mary Rose.
I remember as a child going on holiday with my mum Eileen Hickey (nee Bourke) and sister Mary to Aunty Gert's at Paekakariki. Your Mum and Denis were still living at home and we had heaps of music and fun.

A few years later your Mum and Dad had a holiday at our farm at Kohi when they were 'going out together'. We often wondered if Ernst 'popped the question' while wandering over the farm will Mary Rose. Though it might have been a bit hard with a few of the Hickey kids 'hanging on'!

I'm sorry I won't be with you tomorrow - I'm not so good at navigating traffic in Wellington these days - a bit out of practice in the 'big smoke'. But will be thinking of you all.

Though there is sadness in farewelling a loved Mother, there will be much happiness in sharing wonderful memories and getting together to catch up on each other as family.
Go well, Love & prayers, Liz Hickey rsj
