Jennifer DRAVITZKI Obituary

DRAVITZKI, Jennifer Anne
(formerly Keegan,
nee Kuriger):
19.10.59 - 8.4.17Our dearest Jenny departed this life on Saturday 8 April to make her spiritual journey to Heaven, aged 57 years. Jenny is a deeply devoted and loved wife of nearly 20 years to her husband Dennis Dravitzki, and also Gerard Keegan (d. 1996). An inspirational mother to her children and their partners: Kate Keegan and Brett McMillan, Bridget and Brendon Lodge, Alex Keegan, Martin Keegan and Sophie Carter, and Luke Dravitzki. A fun-loving and proud Nana to Ruby Keegan, and Mia and Addison Lodge. Daughter of Con and Theresa Kuriger (both deceased, of Oaonui). A loved sister of her 8 siblings and treasured member of the Kuriger, Dravitzki and Keegan families. Jenny's unwavering passion for life and her ability to embrace all people and the circumstances that came her way, gives us strength at this time. Such a beautiful person whose character has touched countless people during her life. A special thank you to all medical staff for their care and respect shown to Jenny. A Funeral Mass for Jenny will be celebrated at St Joseph's Catholic Church, Powderham Street, New Plymouth, on Wednesday 12 April, 2017 at 1.30pm, followed by her burial at Inglewood Cemetery.

Dennis,Theresa,Ian and families - such a shock to all of us at Summerset. Jenny only visited us about a week prior to say hello. The Kuriger extended family have all been 'part of us" since day one at Mountain View. Our thoughts are with you all as you cope with your great loss. Take comfort that Jenny is with "Mum and Dad" now.

Such a shock to hear of Jenny's untimely passing. My sincere and deepest sympathies to all the families particularly the Kuriger family. Jenny was one of my primary school mates at St Joseph's Opunake. Always ready for a laugh and a chat. A quick hello and catch-up at Americarna Inglewood recently.You spotted me Jenny. Thank you for that. An angel looking over us all in Heaven now I'm sure. God Bless.

Love and prayers to all the families. Jenny was always a busy bright personality from our first meeting in 1964 when I arrived as a complete stranger to look after the Kuriger Kids while their Mum was away after a family bereavement
What a wee sweetie she was and it was obvious then she was going to be a real character.
You will no doubt take comfort in recall of so many happy family times
God bless you all
