Marie Aileen Mawhinney

Hey Mum, not much I can say except to say you were the best & we could always rely on you for a laugh no matter the circumstances. I will miss you forever. All my love, No 1 son.

Aunt Marie, we have all shared many laughs with you over the years so you will forever live on in our hearts and fond memories of you.

I worked under Marie's guidance as a newly registered nurse. She always had the patient's interest at heart, she was giving, she genuinely cared. Marie told a great story, work was enjoyable, she could make us laugh. I appreciated her mentorship as I was just starting out.. Sending my condolences to her family, may your precious memories wrap around you as mine are around me.

I have many happy memories of working alongside Marie many years ago. She was a dedicated mother and wife, a committed and caring nurse, a warm vibrant genuine person well remembered for her sense of humor and ability to care for others. A very special person indeed.

Deepest Sympathy 💐

Dear Marie

Whenever you smiled at me I was feeling relief to lived in New Zealand.

Our deepest sympathies at the passing of Marie. Sally and I are so glad we had the opportunity to meet her.

So very saddened to read of Marie’s death. She was a valued and loyal friend, who always cared about others - always gave 100% in her life & her nursing career. A fighter for Elm Court & other causes, and an always-to-be-counted-on reliable & loyal Labour Party member. Much valued for her warmth & good sense, & will be much missed. Deepest sympathy to Kerry and all the family.

Marie was a very special lady who played a great part in our lives especially when Dean and Jane were babies on Mt Ruapehu.
Deepest sympathy to all the family.

Dear Mardie, you have one of the best of friends. I will miss you so very much. Thank you for all you have been to our family. For being there when our daughter was born, giving her first bath. Being there as Simon and Peta grew up. You shared your love of cooking, the wonderful creations of meals and many cheerful fun times held around the dining table.. I have many treasures thanks to our fossicing in second hand shops and so many good times over a cup of tea. Thank you for your listening ear, sharing your passions, your fights for the underdog, ardent support of the Labour party, Alzhiemers Society, meets on Wheels, Hospice and Ward 12. A wonderful charge nurse and patient advocate. You are much loved and dear.

Marie was one of the best nurse managers I have had the privilege to work under in Rimu Suite - Elm Court. It was a fantastic place to work due to Maries sense of humour, empathy and kindness shown to patients, family and staff. I am grateful for her mentorship and impact she had on my mental health nursing career. I would like to extend my sympathy to her family and my thoughts are with them at this sad time in their lives.

Marie was a delightful, pleasant person and a pleasure to share experiences with while at Tongariro National Park. Our sympathy to Kerry and all extended family and friends.

So glad we saw you both in February this year. We will all miss Marie immensely. Such a loving caring and practical lady. Ian, Adrienne. Matt. Antonia and Teddy Stewart. We will see you Kerry before the years end.

Maria was a wonderful Nurse Manager in Rimu Suite Elm Court, she was very supportive , kind & caring Lady.
Maria knew how to get Staff to Ward Meetings she would bring in long bread stick cut & toast then put on a lovely topping including salmon that you caught Kerry, was so yummy. I have many Happy Memories of Maria was so good working in a happy environment. Deepest Sympathy to Kerry & Family.. Jan Broad Invercargill
