I read of Mary Anne´s death with sadness and warm reflections
Our lives intersected through teaching in Christchurch and Timaru.
I enjoyed Mary Anne´s engaging & no nonsense approach to life and work.
I have fond memories of our various conversations and experiences

Condolences to Paul, and the Howard and Ward families. Thinking of you all.
Mary Anne will be missed.
Love
Christine & Marg O'Shaughnessy

Passed away courageously and graciously 24th July, Orbell Street Hospice, Timaru. Dearly loved sister of Marg Hansen and Tim, John and Paul Howard. Much appreciated aunt of many. Songster for many more. Mary Anne passed away as she lived - as a strong woman with loads of good humour, a lovely chuckle, speaking her truth clearly, always thinking of others first. We will be happy to be with Alan and family to farewell and celebrate our Mary Anne.
