Heather RODLEY Obituary

28.11.1947 - 23.4.2025

"I want to be cremated immediately, scattered, and NO funeral". Yeah right - for somebody who touched so many lives. That's why there were so many written tributes and over 400 at the Celebration. Geoff wants to thank hospital staff for their efforts, to thank Kelsey and Casey of Eagars, so many people who rang, called, sent food with all their love and care. Thank you everyone for the tributes, and cards. It would be impossible to reply in person but know my appreciation. Thanks to our church family at Brooklands for your love and actions. Thanks family for such a brilliant, funny, loving time together - she would be so proud of the family she created - Aidan & Natasha, and Amanda, Samantha (amazing) & Hamish, Hamish & Anna, Noah & Ava, Scott, Dakota, Mekhi. Thanks, Unforgettables. Thanks to all who travelled. Thanks Trent and Kathryn. Thanks to all who attended Tuesday's Celebration and those who have viewed it. Thanks Derek and Suzie for what you shared. Still amazed the energiser bunny went so quickly and is not here. I am available to do the haircutting! Married 55 years yesterday. Reunited with family and her Lord. Love you so much!
