Afterword

Margaret NEVILLE-DYER

Canterbury

Posted 24 June 2026

Passed away serenely this past Sunday evening after a short prognosis, aged 66. Loving wife of Jeremy Dyer, mother to Louis and Hugo, and "Governess" of the Ōtoromiro Hotel. Much loved sister of the Neville clan in Wimbledon, and sister-in-law of the Dyer family in Christchurch and beyond. Our everlasting gratitude to the haematology team at Christchurch Hospital for their care, empathy and professionalism in Clare's final weeks.

A private cremation for Clare has been held and her funeral for close family and friends will be held at St Cuthbert's, Governors Bay, this Friday at 3.00pm, followed by more tears and stories at the Ōtoromiro Hotel.
