1 January 1944 – 11 August 2026

Anita was not only beautiful, kind, fearless, and very, very funny, she was also a planner. Roughly 15 years ago she shared the following note to be placed in the paper at the time of her passing: Daughter of Alex and Maureen Patterson (Invercargill), loved and loving wife of Franklin, devoted mother to Kirsten and Fraser, special friend to Anthea and Robert. A caring sister, sister-in-law and Aunt. In accordance with Anita's wishes, the family has said goodbye privately. While we respect her wishes for a no-fuss farewell, we will be arranging a morning tea in the Spring to remember Anita.
