Dorothy was a work colleague at the Social Security Department in New Plymouth, where we worked in the typing pool for a number of years. Many happy memories of those times and of the regular lunches with our group of Old Girls. Will be sadly missed. Sincere sympathy to Michael Finnigan.

Was saddened to see the death notice of Dorothy Finnigan in this morning´s copy of the Taranaki Daily News via Legacy.com, Truly a gracious lady.
To yourself Michael and all the family I extend my sympathy on her passing.
With her death, the curtain comes down finally on so much of your own lives, leaving no doubt, many happy memories of the years that have gone all too quickly. May Dorothy be given a wonderful farewell from St Joseph´s in New Plymouth on Friday.
And may the Good Lord welcome her home with outstretched arms, and may she now be forever at peace.
