Coral KIDDEY Obituary

Beloved wife and best friend of Neil for more than 60 years, Coral passed away peacefully at Timaru Hospital on December 1, 2025, with her loving family at her side. Much loved mother and mother-in-law of Michael (Mick) and Karen, Mark and Louise, and adored Nan of Leticia, Jasmine, Amelia and Brittany, and Nan Coral to her nine great-grandchildren. Although Coral's passing will leave a huge hole in our lives, the memories of her lovely smiles, hugs and generosity will be with us forever. Our family are so grateful for the wonderful care of St John and the medical and nursing staff at Timaru Hospital, particularly in Ward 5, who made Coral's passing peaceful and pain free. Thank you all, you were a real comfort. In accordance with Coral's wishes, a private cremation has been held along with private family gatherings to recall and celebrate Coral's life.
