Passed away peacefully, surrounded by her loving family, on Sunday 2nd November 2025, aged 80 years. Dearly loved wife and soulmate of Peter. Adored mother and mother-in-law of Jeff and Brenda, Lynn, and Rodney and Angela. Cherished nanny of Josh, Gene, Louie, Corey, Jade, Amber, Kyle, and Cullen, and a proud great-grandmother and friend to many.
Nola lived her life with love, laughter, strength, and a generous heart. She will be remembered for her kindness, honesty, humour, and the courage with which she faced life — and, in the end, for finding comfort and peace in her faith.
“Her love leaves a memory no one can steal, her spirit a strength no one can break.”
As per Nola’s wishes, a private cremation has taken place. A memorial celebration of her wonderful life will be held at a later date. Messages may be sent to the family, c/- Hope Family Funerals, 2A Loop Road, RD 6, Tauranga 3176.
