In memory of Bev, as requested by Tom, donations for Hato Hone St John Hari Hari in lieu of flowers.
Harihari, West Coast
It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of our beloved Bev on Monday. A devoted wife, mother, nana and great-nana, and an unwavering pillar of support to her community. Bev's loss has sent shockwaves through her family and friends.
Bev is survived by her loving husband of 63 years, Tom, who remains a steadfast figure in the Westland Community. Tom, in his time of grief, has made the heartfelt request that, in lieu of flowers, donations be made to Hato Hone St John Hari Hari - an organisation that Bev served and deeply cherished for 22 years. This request reflects the lifelong bond the Clarkson family shares with the local emergency service.
We also want to ensure that Tom, who has already been through so much, is not burdened by the unexpected medical and funeral costs. So any funds raised may be used to help cover these expenses, but priority will be to honour Tom's wishes by supporting St John.
We understand times are tough, and there is absolutely no obligation to donate. This is simply in lieu of any gifts or flowers. A simple message of support on Bev's memorial page means the world to the family and will help us all find comfort in this difficult time.
Thank you for honouring Bev and Tom's legacy and for keeping her memory alive with your love and support. <3
