ROBERTSON Beverley Dolores (nee Hughes) — 11th November 1937 to 11th March 2026, aged 88. Passed away peacefully in Devonport, Auckland after an extended illness. Born in Nuhaka, only daughter of Ena (nee Mayo) and David Hughes, sister to Dudley, Arthur, Bruce, Charles and Neil. Raised in Nuhaka, Bev trained as a dental nurse in Wellington and after marriage, lived most of her life in Kawerau. Dearly beloved wife for 66 years of the late Ian Penn Hamilton Robertson. Cherished mother of David and Pam, Natalie, Hamish, and Jo. Treasured grandmother of Natalie and Clifford, Matthew and Holly, Daniel and Rachel, Nicholas and Holly, Anna and Benoit, Elle (deceased), Sharaya and Elliot, Eli and Alexia, Caleb, Holly, Amos and Violet. Loved great-grandmother of Lily, Roman, William, Eva, Ella, Jackson, Mason and Sofia, Aviya, Kiah, Fletcher, Hudson, and Alyssa. Bev was known for her service to community and sense of compassion. She was a deep thinker and listener, and had a quick wit inherited from her Mayo family. Alongside Ian, she ministered to many over the years. We thank the staff at William Sanders Rymans Village, Devonport who have cared for Beverley over the past three years. A service to celebrate Beverley’s life will be held in St Margaret’s Anglican Church, 1 Newall Street, Kawerau, on Monday 16th March at 11am, followed by cremation.
