Christine JAHNKE Obituary

Sharing with great sadness the peaceful passing of Chris, on 31 May 2025. She fought an incredibly hard battle with courage and grace and is now at rest. We thank the amazing staff at Te Omanga Hospice, Lower Hutt, for their care and support. Beloved wife to Erich for 54 years, Chris was a cherished mother, sister, grandmother, great-grandmother, aunt, cousin and friend. We are grateful for her life filled with blessings, care, love and laughter. A celebration of her life will be held in Stokes Valley Uniting Church, 346 Stokes Valley Rd, on 5 June 2025, at 11.00am. In lieu of flowers, donations to Te Omanga Hospice appreciated.
