Our thoughts and sympathy go out to you John and Ceridwyn and Adrienne and Tony and extended family. Pat and Jack were well respected farmers and friends in the Kowhitirangi community. Pat taught at the Kowhitirangi School during their time in the valley. Great memories of lovely cheerful lady who contributed so much, to so many, for so long. Now at rest.
Par will be remembered for all time as a wonderful wife to Jack, mum to Adrienne and John, a welcoming mother in law to Tony and Ceridwyn and a devoted grandmother to Oliver and Tim. Such a family person and lived by all who knew her. Pat was still teaching when Gareth started. She was an inspiration to a her students and remembered every one of them. What an honour to have known her and been, in the smallest if way, part of her life journey. RIP. Our deepest condolences to Pat’s whanau
Megan Wilson and family

Our sincere condolences go to John and Dene and their families. Pat (& Jack) were a very much loved part of our lives and I have many precious moments that I will treasure from the last 40 plus years, the most recent of which was visiting Pat with my wife Claire and our children when back in NZ in 2015. We have lit a candle at St John Fisher Catholic Church here in Redbourn (UK) and have Pat and you all in our thoughts here. Much love Hamish, Claire, Ethan, Daniel and Alexander (Ward) xxxxx
Sending our deepest condolences to John, Dene and family at the sad news of Pat’s passing.
Our beloved Pat was a very special person in our lives, as I’m sure she was to so many people, and she and Jack will always be remembered with great fondness and love.
It was always great to catch up with her when we were on the coast and to see the sparkle in her eye and the genuine interest she had in asking what was happening with us.
And, even as she became more frail, she was still able to give the best hugs!
We were very fortunate to have had Pat touch our lives and are grateful to her family for sharing her with us. I’m sorry I won’t be there to help you celebrate her life and share in the stories we all have, but my thoughts will be with you all.
Rest well Pat, you deserve it.
P.S. say G’day to Jack from us, we still miss him too!!
Love and fondest regards, Duncan, Em, Henry and Brianna xxxx
A truly gifted Teacher and beautiful Soul! It’s true that some teachers touch you and mold your thinking so much that their lessons last forever and Mrs D was one of those Teachers. Forever remembered as an gentle, genuine person with a huge personality in the Jefferies Household. We often mentioned that we wished we had her to teach our own kids.
I feel blessed that I had you as a Teacher and will always be grateful to have had you in my childhood.
Love to all your lovely family at this very sad time.
Much love and light
Shannon
I will always have fond memories of Mrs D as my first teacher at Kaniere School, as well as always asking after my girls and what they were up too whenever we ran into each other. She really will be missed in our community by all whose lives she touched. Thinking of all the Dimmick family at this sad time.
Our deepest condolences go out to John, Adrienne and families. You have to be so proud that Pat was such a kind, caring and considerate true West Coaster who touched so many peoples lives. A lovely lady now at rest. Thinking of you all at this sad time.
Deepest sympathy John & Ceridwyn, Adrienne & Tony, Oliver & Tim and whanau. “Aunty Pat’ was a lovely lady who always time for a chat and a laugh. Rest easy with your beloved Jack.
