Dearly loved Mum and mother-in-law of Julie and Ross McDonald, Mary Chapman and Clive Williams, Christina and Bruce Chapman. Loved Nana of Nicola and Gareth Wynne, Rachael and Tracey McDonald, Mike and Jo Chapman, Tony Clark, Eddie and Felicity Clark, and great-grandmother of Jack, Ava, Luuka, Toby and Savannah. A special thank you to Dr Scott McGowan (her pet) and the Urology Team at Palmerston North Hospital, Dr Ricky Tsai and team from Awapuni Medical Centre, and the staff at Olive Tree (Arvida) for all you have done for Win over the years. For those that have been there for Mum during some difficult moments in her life, thank you (you know who you are). A funeral service for Win will be held at the Beauchamp Crematorium Chapel, 167 John F Kennedy Drive, Palmerston North, on Saturday 25 July 2026 at 11.00am.

A life well lived and loved.
