Grace CUSACK Obituary

1 July 1938 – 23 September 2025

To her grandchildren, she was 'Ace'. To her family and friends, she was 'Grace'. To her students, she was 'Mrs Cusack'. To everyone, she was strong, fiercely independent, and very determined. Thank you for all the backyard bowling (sorry you picked up that shoulder injury); for stepping out of the classroom to care for your grandchildren and discovering the joys of being a stage and concert grandmother; for navigating piano and ballet lessons and seeing how many boys and girls you could squeeze into the mighty Peugeot 205 to get everyone, everywhere, on time. Most importantly, thank you for believing so strongly in all of us.
Love you Ace.
Martine and Darin, Luke and Romy, Stephen and Louisa, and the late Vincent.
No flowers please, but we would appreciate a donation to St John www.stjohn.org.nz/donate. Wanting to honour Grace's wishes, there will be no service.

Dear Martine, Darin and families,
So sorry to learn that you have lost your beloved Mum and Grandmother. Grace was a true lady and she will undoubtedly leave a very big hole in your lives and hearts. The long and enduring friendship Grace shared with my Mum (Brenda) was very special and something I am sure they are now busy renewing.

Sending you all my deepest sympathies.
xx
