Passed away peacefully at Christchurch Hospital on July 21, 2026, aged 79. The dearly beloved wife of Russell, a wonderful loving mother to Simon and Anna, 'Nanny Plum' and 'Nanny the GOAT' to Ezra, Ruby, Luca and Emma. Sister of Terry, Mike and June. Daughter of Ralph and Lexi. Sue moved from this life to her next with grace and a curiosity for what awaits her. Her compassion, humility and kindness will be missed by all of those fortunate enough to have crossed her path. We will miss her always but are grateful that she is now at peace.
