Larry McCARTHY

Passed away peacefully on Saturday, July 25, 2026; aged 75 years. Dearly loved wife of the late Chris, reunited after 39 years apart. Cherished and adored mother and mother-in-law of Reuben and Linda, Kirsti and Andy, Israel, Joeli and Bart, Ebby and Josh. Beloved and devoted grandma of Teigan, Harry, Kris, Mcky, Joey, Grace, Alex, Rubie, Parker, Scotti, Paityn, and Foxton. Proud great-grandma of Trinity, and Azalea and her new baby brother. Dearest friend of Joanne and Spongy. She always gave before she took. Her door was forever open, and she believed in building a bigger table, not a higher fence. A beautiful soul and a dear friend to many, she leaves behind a legacy of love, kindness and selflessness. Our lives will forever be shaped by your unconditional love, strength and guidance.

You can rest peacefully with dad now, mum.

Forever loved, deeply missed, and always in our hearts.
