Our love and thoughts are with you all.
May all those wonderful memories help with the sadness you are feeling.

A huge part of Stewart Island/Rakiura’s historic links and knowledge has left with Nancy’s passing. She spent so much of her time helping preserve it, working on the museum trust, but also, I remember her generously showing me through the old Wohlers homestead and sharing memories.
Our condolences to her family, she will be deeply missed.
