ELLMERS, Bronwynne Maurice. Passed away peacefully at Te Wiremu on 9 August 2026, aged 83 years. Much loved wife of the late Karl Ellmers, dearly loved Mum of James and Julia Ellmers, and Sonja and Gareth Cowan, and cherished Granny of Josh, Maddi, Isaac and Felicity. Special thanks to family friend Susie Foss for her ongoing care, regular visits and support when we couldn't be there. We are also grateful to Clive and Rita Frame, and her brother Russell Shanks, for their regular visits and friendship. Our sincere thanks also go to the staff at Te Wiremu, who cared for Mum so well and treated her with such kindness. We will miss her stories, her humour, and her presence in our lives. Forever loved and remembered.

A celebration of Mums life will be held at a later date. Details will be shared with family and friends once arrangements have been finalised. Evans Funeral Service Ltd FDANZ www.evansfuneral.co.nz
