Thinking of Mavis's family at this sad time. I will always think of Mavis fondly and with respect. She spent many Mondays with my Mum ( Nan Sutherland) at Whiteley Church op. shop as well as in other areas of church life. A dear friend to all.

Mavis and Ces where neighbour's to my parents Clive and Jenny CORADINE..growing up at Govett Avenue for 18 years. My mum kept in contact when Mavis moved to Aubrey Street..I visited last year and Mavis was so pleased to see me. Mavis always babysit my sister and I when we were little. Lovely memories and good neighbour's. Ces taught me and Shelley to ride our bikes. Thinking of the Riches family of such a lovely lady and good Mum and grandmother.
