Molly WASTNEY

2026

Died 8 September 2026Posted 15 September 2026

We are heartbroken to share that our beloved Molly died tragically in an accident at home on Tuesday. September 8, 2026. Daughter of Owen and Shirley Drummond, dearly loved wife of Kevin and mother of Kirsty and Joshua. Molly formed so many meaningful connections throughout her life and we know that there is such a large community of people who would love to be here to farewell her. This has been an enormous shock to those of us closest to her and we would like to be able to say goodbye to her quietly.

A service will be held for immediate family and a small number of her closest friends who have all been contacted directly, but we absolutely acknowledge that there are many people who had special connections with her that would have liked to be here. It felt right to keep the service this small and we sincerely apologise to anyone not attending. Such a beautiful soul touches many hearts. If you wish to share your condolences, please feel free to reach out and connect over the coming weeks. It will be a long road for many of us learning to cope with the space Molly always filled. Messages can be sent to the Wastney family c/- 164 Tahunanui Drive Nelson 7011 or left on Molly's tribute page at www.shoneandshirley.co.nz
