Adrienne WATKINS Obituary

It is with heavy hearts that we acknowledge the loss of Adrienne, a truly remarkable individual whose contributions to our organisation and community will never be forgotten.
Adrienne was a loyal and hardworking committee member, always going above and beyond her duties with dedication and grace. She was a delight to work alongside, bringing warmth, sincerity, and a sense of camaraderie that inspired us all.
Her determination and high standards set the benchmark for excellence, and her thoughtful guidance made her a great mentor to many. Adrienne had an innate ability to bring out the best in everyone she worked with, and her commitment to the community´s welfare was unwavering.
Beyond her professional attributes, Adrienne´s twinkling eyes and delightful sense of humor brought joy to every interaction. She was one of the most caring and compassionate women we have ever known, touching countless lives with her kindness and wisdom.
Thank you, Adrienne, for your valued guidance and the lasting legacy of positivity and excellence you leave behind. You will be deeply missed but fondly remembered by all who had the privilege of knowing you.
Rest in peace, dear Adrienne.
Urenui & Mokau Rural Healthcare Incorporated Committee

Adrienne was a person to be admired for the way she was always willing to show an interest in people and events around her. As she became less physically able in her personal life, it was sad to see that she could not be a part of being where she would have wanted to be. She enjoyed visits and being informed of being brought up to date. She enjoyed me passing on jokes i received via email as she had a wonderful sense if humour. It was very reassuring to know that Alistair was always there to see that she was looked after. It was a pleasure to have her as part of the community of Onaero and Urenui.

My thoughts are with you all at this sad time.
Adrienne and her cousin (my aunty Margaret) kept in touch with one another over many years and have both passed away within the last 3 months.
A big hug to Joanne, Alan and Geraldine.

Very sad to hear of Adrienne's death, I first meet her at the Urenui Health Group where she was a great member .always ready to help and did more than was expected always available when required . Adrienne you now deserve a real rest. rest in peace.
