Valerie WILSON Obituary
24.9.1932 - 19.8.2025
Passed away peacefully and, as always, surrounded by family, on Tuesday, August 19, 2025, in her 92nd year. Adored mother, mother-in-law, Nana, and great-grandmother of the following families: Sherron and Alan Harrison, Toby and Rachel with Mitchell, Kyla and James with Tilly and Floyd, Penny and Andy with Claudia and Sammy; Yolyn and Nick Goldschmidt, Chelsea and Dane, Luke, Royce, Katherine and Austin, Hilary and Chayton; Lesley and Gary Mehrtens, Shannon and Hayward with James and Emily, Tanya and Stephen and family, Aleisha and Mark and family, Kelsey and family. Val took advantage of every moment of her life to share with family and friends. She travelled extensively from the age of 21 to all parts of the world and continued into her late 80s.

Her family wishes to thank the gentle support of the staff at Christchurch Hospital for their care and compassion in her last days. Messages may be addressed to The Family of the late Valerie Wilson, c/- PO Box 39127, Christchurch 8545. In accordance with Valerie's wishes a private cremation will be held.

Valerie was a very special person to me. I had the privilege of boarding with Val. She was so good to me. We had a lot of laughs. I now deeply regret not catching up with Val in recent times, but I will cherish the memories. Sherron, Yolyn, Lesley and families, I'm thinking of you all. Love Stu McILwrick
