Stephanie THORPE Obituary

I love you very much, Nanny and I hope you Rest In Peace. I thank you for always loving me and Coby, and always looking out for us. I will always remember and cherish our long walks, going to the park, your chickens and having fun baking. I will miss you very much. We love you!! Macey and Coby

Dearly loved niece of Dave and Carol king rest in peace Steph till we meet again. Xxxx

Steph now bathes in a sea of love, and with a golden heart as big as hers that's where she will certainly be. Steph told it as it was, show her some love and she would bathe you in the same, upset her and she would turn the other cheek and walk away expressing "Whatever". She would never put others down, and always tried to see the good in anyone.
I was privileged enough to have worked alongside her with the Red Cross helping the earth quake victims and was able to witness her empathy and compassion for others, and her sense of humour always came through. She has left a big empty hole in my life as I'm sure she has with anyone that knew her. See you on the other side Steph, where I will be wanting one of your great big hugs. Love forever from Stephen, and little Jesse x

Dear, dear Steph! You have been taken from us so fast and way too soon but through every challenge you were given you have shown your incredible strength and the cheeky sense of humour I so admired in you. To your last day you thought only of others. I wish with all my heart you can rest easy now. Danny and I will look after Dan and the kids as always, and Keith is always welcome in our family. With much love and many fond memories, Danny and Claudia, Yolanda and Richie, Matilda and Regan, and Max and the rest of our family that had the honour of meeting you. You will be sorely missed. Fly free!

Gonna miss you Steph, your thoughfulness, your humour. Our chats, which could put the world right in no time. Our chats when we laughed together, and our chats when we didn't.
Rest in peace my Friend.
Love and hugs, Sal. xxx

Will miss your smiling face and amazing huge heart full of caring and kindness. Every year you and Keith were so full of kindness at Xmas time to those less fortunate. Your attitude last week was inspirational. Fly free Steph

We will always remember your hospitality when we came to Christchurch. So glad we got to meet up with you, Keith and Andy there. It had been about 40 years since we had seen you in Canada!! Had so hoped we would see you here on holiday one day. Not to be.. Rest In Peace now Steph..... xoxo
Cheryl, Pat, Jenn and Jodie

It was always a pleasure to spend time with you and to have a laugh. It is a great sadness to know we won't get that dinner together when you were feeling better but Keith is more than welcome to still join us at our parties. Much love to Keith and the family

Forever in our hearts. You will be sorely missed. You were such a beautiful person inside and out. Watching the rugby will never be the same again.
With all our love Jacqui, Jon & Jess

Steph you were always such a warm caring person who I admired. I will miss your sense of humour and your friendly chats. Hugs & Kisses ❤❤❤❤

Thank you darling for the many many years we spent together ❤. We have two loving children and many grandchildren who will help spread the word, what a brilliant wife and mother you was. Time to take a rest. Love and miss you xx
