On December 16, 2024, a golden heart stopped beating, and our family lost a matriarch, heaven gained an angel, and we lost a piece of our hearts. Dearly loved and cherished mother of Billy, Duane, and Budda, and mother-in-law to Karinya, Carole, and Lisa. Loved and treasured Nana of Sinitta, Scarlett, Evie, Frida, Brendon, and Casey.  Adoring fur-baby Mum to her wee dog Daisy. Just like a sunflower her personality and smile would brighten your day.  She was a treasure like no other, filled with love and laughter.  Having her in our life was a blessing, our memories will forever be treasured.  You are loved beyond words and will be missed beyond measure.  Messages for t he family may be addressed to: The family of the late Carol Cooper, c/- PO Box 39001, Christchurch 8545.  At Carol’s request, a private cremation has been held.
