In Loving Memory of Our Beautiful Māmā

Our beautiful Māmā, Annette Lole Karepa, passed away on 16th September 2026 after a long and courageous battle with cancer.

Beloved wife of Ned, loving daughter of Valma Crowley and the late Reverend FepiÊ»oaÊ»i Field, devoted Māmā to Tane and Janaya, Neihana and Shanel, Tereme, Waiana and Fati, Roimata and Glenn and cherished Nanny to her many mokopuna. A much loved sister, cousin, aunty and friend to so many. Thank you, Māmā, for a lifetime of love, care and beautiful memories. You taught us the importance of whānau, kindness and making the most of every moment. Your love, strength and beautiful spirit will live on in all of us.

Ia manuia lou malaga, our darling Māmā.

Forever loved, forever missed.
