So sorry to hear about Deirdre's passing. Bumped into her about 10 years ago after a long absence, and she was delightful to meet again after too many years. I remember her days as a hip young mum in the 1970s, and the many lifts to school she gave me, I always admired her spirit. My deepest condolences to Neil and all her family.

For Aunty Dee – From Claire Making scones and cream in your kitchen bright, Fresh baked bread—oh, what a delight! Mini quiches, sausage rolls galore, At every event, we’d ask for more. Christmas came, and oh, what a feat, Your crispy potatoes just couldn’t be beat! Neil’s yabbies in the bathtub swam, While you just chuckled and didn’t give a damn. Footy stats, the scores you’d track, You’d give us newspaper clippings stacked in a pack. A kind word, a note, a gentle cheer, You lifted us up year after year. You saw the best in those you knew, With kind encouragement that always grew. A cheerful heart, so warm and wide, Lifting us all with love and pride. You loved us more than words can say, Gave so much in your own sweet way. Aunty Dee, we’ll miss you true, But we’ll smile and laugh—just like you.
Max, Lynlea, Brodie & Taurie Slater
So sorry for your loss Neil, Joanne, Bridget, Adele and Max. Deirdre was a loving mother and grandmother to you all. She absolutely adored her family and grandchildren.... May she rest in peace and her memories and love continue throughout your lives xx
