At 95 years old, after a long illness. A beloved Mum to Rob and Cherry, Gill and Al, Rosemary (dec) and Vee. Grandma/Nana to Clarrie, Andy, Jack, Amy, Eddie and David. A bold and vivacious mountaineer, walker, golfer, gardener and textile artist, Val will be missed by many. Enormous gratitude to the staff at Harbourview and previously Miranda Smith Homecare for the loving care of our Mum. On account of the COVID-19 situation, a private cremation will be held.
