It was a privilege to know you Fay. Your regular visits to the Winton library were always a happy occasion for us, and your beautiful treats of sponges and paves were always a huge talking point. We felt very humbled to be invited to your Christmas party last year and we will remember this forever. We will miss you very much Fay. May you rest in peace xx Love Paula & Summer

Our thoughts go out to all Fay's family.
Fay was a beautiful lady with a kind heart.
Fay was a wonderful supporter of the Winton Hospice Shop often popping in with left over fabric for quilting amongst other things.
We have missed seeing her in store since she went into care and on a personal note I will miss her personally for our lovely chats we had and for her advice. Rest in peace Fay

Jill and I would like to pass on our sincere condolences to the Hamilton family, Fay was someone whose company we both enjoyed and will remember fondly.
My own memories go back to my school days, but it was a young man I began to appreciate her generosity, whether it was making me welcome when I used to scrounge lunch with your family at the AMP show, or as a guest in the homestead.
Fay’s culinary talents are legendary and I remember we used to look forward to Noel or Ralph being on supper duty at young farmers, as many Hokonui YFC members will still remember those cream sponges.
You mother and grandmother was a lovely lady who we both respected, the pride she took in her family and her welcoming nature made her a woman to look up to.
We can’t be with you on Friday, but you all will be in our thoughts then, as you are today.

Yours Sincerely
Bill & Jill Taylor

I'm sorry that I'm unable to attend, due to my health and being in lockdown here at the home. I'm just so sorry that I never had the opportunity to see her before she passed away. There are such lovely family memories from holidays spent together, she lived on the home farm in her young days before she was married and moved to Winton. She joined in all the activities in the district, the women's division and she was a great baker! I wish to goodness I could have been there to give her a cuddle before she passed away. Love to all those who I would have loved to have seen today.
