LINDSAY, Colleen Anne:
Sunrise 04.11.1951 – Sunset 02.04.2026
With disbelief and shattered hearts, we announce the unexpected passing of Colleen on Thursday, 2 nd April 2026. Life without mum won’t be the same. A woman with a heart of gold and caring nature. A woman who loved Kmart, The Warehouse, wallets, bags, word searches and burning around in her wee black car. She was a very much loved and respected mum of Zena, Paula, Trudy, and Cory. Loved wife of the late Kenny. Loved nana, great nana, aunty and friend. Cherished companion of Grant. At the age of 74, mum had the best group of friends, who we want to acknowledge. Your love, support and coffee dates you went on together made mum’s life richer. Every day mum will live on in us with every breath and steps we take. Thank you for loving us the way you did. Always remembered and never forgotten.
“With great love comes great loss”
See you on the other side xxx. As per Colleen’s wishes, a private service has been held. Messages to 741 Tweed Street, Newfield, Invercargill 9812.

EVANS, (née Tipuna), Lynette:
29/12/1965 – 12/04/2025
My beautiful wife
The truth is I think of you every day.
Not just birthdays and special occasions,
But every ordinary, unremarkable day.
You are my first good morning,
And my last good night.
We loved each other, from our first breath
And I will love you till my last.
Always and forever,
Your husband.
