Bernice DURKIN Obituary
(nee McAleer):
Faithful Christian as well as a tea drinking, cryptic crossword fanatic. Very special mother and mother-in-law of Patrick, Philippa, James, Ann-Louise, Ian, Mary-Jane, John, Nooshka, Peter and Elizabeth. Wife of the late Patrick John Durkin. Much loved grandmother of George, Philippa, Owen, Logan, Brooke, Milly, Grace and Kian. Passed away peacefully at her home of 49 years in Taradale, in the early afternoon of Saturday, August 15. Will be remembered as a devoted mother, grandmother and Christian and perhaps as the original tiger Mum, well before her time in the 1970s. We will all miss your happy, humble and extroverted personality. Thank you for all your unconditional love, care and nurturing you showed us throughout our time together.
"We will love and remember you always."

Bernice. I met you through church and when I was a young mum 30 years ago you always had a kind word and an encouraging smile. You were a very graceful woman, impeccably dressed and very wise. A very special woman. Now I work with your daughter and son n law and know how very special family is to you. All my love to your family.

I knew Bernice in the 90's when she came to Bay city outreach centre in Hastings.There were a bunch of ladies from Napier who came for the services. Bernice was a lovely lady- Graeme Walsh, Santa Maria, California.

I'm going to really miss you as a good friend. Our chats. Our texting and getting lost when we went out together. What a laugh. Thanks for your listening ear.
You will always be in my thoughts. Love you.
