Tipene Funerals Porirua notice 🕊️

Tainui te waka, ko Ngāti Mahanga te hapū
Ko Pirongia rāua ko Karioi ngā maunga
Ko Waikato rāua ko Waitetuna ngā awa
Ko Te Kaharoa rāua ko Poihakena ngā marae
Ko Aramiro te whenua tapu
Nō reira, tēnā koutou katoa.

It is with deep sadness that we share the passing of our beautiful matriarch, Donna Marie Tahimarae Tairakena, who slipped away peacefully at home in Stokes Valley.

Donna is lying in state at Koraunui Marae, 146 Stokes Valley Road, until her cremation at Whenua Tapu on Saturday 4th April.

All are warmly welcome to attend a kai hākari, followed by a time to share memories, on Friday 3rd April at 6:00pm.
She will be deeply missed, especially by her mokopuna.

The whānau would like to acknowledge and sincerely thank Te Omanga Hospice, Lower Hutt Hospital, and Kōkiri Marae Services for their patience, compassion, and tender care of our mum.

Paimārire 🤍
