It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Mary Patricia Stuart (nee Flanagan), who passed away on Sunday, November 9, 2025, at the grand age of 91. Beloved wife of John for 67 years, mother of five devoted daughters and five sons-in-law, cherished grandmother of nine grandchildren and four great-grandchildren, Mary's warmth, strength and love touched the lives of all who knew her. She will be dearly missed and fondly remembered. Thanks to the wonderful staff in the care unit at Eastcliffe Retirement Village. A mass to honour Mary's life will be held on Friday, November 14, at 10.00am, at St Joseph's Orakei, 16 Brenton Place, Auckland.
