McKENZIE, Jan Lynette:

After a valiant battle with cancer, Jan passed away on Monday the 21st of October 2024, at home surrounded by her family and dogs on a sunny Paekakariki afternoon.

Loved daughter of Joy and the late Robin, and sister of Alistair, Andrew, and David. Sorely missed mother, father, and best friend of Simon and Angela and general all round awesome person. Beloved wife of the late Trevor.



A service to celebrate her life will be held at Old St Pauls, 34 Mulgrave Street, Wellington on Thursday the 31st of October at 2pm.

Jan wanted this to be a day of celebration, and as such we welcome wearing bright colours in her honour. In keeping with her wishes, we invite you to bring a photograph of you and Jan, or a letter to her. These will be placed in a special box and cremated with her, so she can always carry her people with her.

A special thanks to the wonderful care of Mary Potter Hospice and the care of the Kapiti district nurses.

In lieu of flowers, a donation in Jan’s memory to either Wellington Free Ambulance (wfa.org.nz) or Mary Potter Hospice (marypotter.org.nz) would be appreciated. All communications can be made here on Jan’s tribute page.
