Kathleen ROBERTS Obituary

ROBERTS,
Kathleen Elizabeth
(nee Beatty):
Born Ashburton, lived in Christchurch until 2011. Mum sadly passed August 5, 2019; 95 years young. Peacefully surrounded by love. A rich tapestry of life, inspiring so many through her wonderful spirit, positive attitude and warm personality. Always devoted to family, loving and loyal. Daughter of Maggie and Bill, wife of Peter, mother to Janine and Diane, nana to James, Sam and David. Loyal and true to all who knew her. A great friend to many. A wonderful singer and pianist, music filled our home. A beautiful lady who could hit the dance floor with Dad, tow the caravan, whip up a batch of scones. Always a great mother who made life better. I am so lucky Kath was my Mum and my friend. So many happy memories shared both in NZ and Australia. A priviledge and honor to provide her care as her needs increased. Grateful thanks to our Fab Five carers in Nelson for their kindness and help. Special thanks to those who supported our lives in Christchurch and Nelson. Private cremation and ceremony. Rest in Peace Mum, you remain cherished in the hearts of many forever. Your values, passion for life, kindness, courage, love and caring has touched us all. You will be greatly missed. Messages to Di PO Box 871 Nelson.

Nana was a wonderful woman strong and loving. She was a true inspiration with her independent spirit and determination. She was a loving grandmother to us and would always have a new pair of slippers knitted before we grew out of the old ones, She would always make us laugh with her cheeky sense of humour. We will miss her but never forget her

Mum was such a loving, generous woman...she was a great musician who supported me in my studies, a wonderful gardener and a fantastic ook. Her knitting prowess is legendary and so many have mentioned her knitted slippers and jumpers. Miss her so very much..but love seeing her living on in her amazing grandsons and now in her six great -grandchildren, Ivy and Isla already love gardening and all of them are thrilled to sit at the piano with me to play. Thanks Di for the lovely tribute and the care you have shown in her last years.

Kathleen was one of the delights of my day. She was kind, sassy and smart. I loved our little choir, especially singing our favourite Maori song from our childhood, and those 60's tunes we'd belt out. A true lady. Very very much missed.

One of the FAB FIVE.
