Support for Charlottes whanau, especially her children who are dealing with the sudden passing of their beloved Mum.
Hokitika, West Coast
It is with deep sadness that we announce the sudden and unexpected passing of Charlotte Louise Walker.
Charlotte was a beloved daughter to Wyndy and Bonnie, and a devoted, selfless mother — not only to her own children but to what felt like half the Westland High School population. She was also a cherished aunty, cousin, niece, and a treasured friend to so many.
Her passing has come as a devastating shock, especially to her children — Jesse, Vaughtin, Larissa, Tipene, Kara, Alicia, Summer, Hunter, and Skye. Charlotte was their rock, their safe place, and their guiding light. The pain of losing her is unimaginable, and without her, they feel lost.
Charlotte loved life and had so much more living left to do.
A Givealittle page has been set up to help ease the financial burden on the family during this incredibly difficult time. All proceeds will go toward covering the unexpected funeral and cremation costs, as well as helping with essential household expenses. Your support will also allow family members to take time off work to care for the younger children and begin the healing process.
Your kindness and generosity mean more than words can express.
I am a close friend of Charlottes son Vaughtin.
