Townsend, Nora “Maria”

4/9/47 – 5/2/19

Passed away peacefully at SJOG Warrnambool. Unexpected but after enduring a 25 year battle with cancer, long enough to say goodbye, surrounded by so much love.

Dearly loved wife of Geoff.

Devoted and much loved mother to Rob, Julie and Lisa and their families.

Cherished Nan to 11 grandchildren and 1 great grandchild.

Now resting in God’s care, dearly loved, so sadly missed.

…..

My Darling Maria,

I have loved you for more than 50 years, and that won’t stop just because you are no longer by my side. We have had a wonderful life and a beautiful family together.  Thankyou for it all.

Forever your soul mate, Geoff

…..

Mum,

A loving and wonderful lady, who lived her life with courage and endless generosity.  Always looking on the bright side of life.

Loved for ever, mother of Rob, Nanna of Letitia and Charlotte, dearly loved friend of Erica, Logan and Stephanie.

…..

Truly a heart of gold constantly supporting, nurturing and reassuring.  You will be truly and deeply missed, but we will continue to giggle at your enduring little quirks that made you so adorable.  You are simply one of a kind and I am so truly blessed to have called you Mum.

Mum – Nan you are so so loved.

Julie, Barry, Ashley, Maddie, Riley, Georgia (dec), Amelia & Tom.

…..

Our beautiful Mum and Nan, the rock of our family, you loved us all unconditionally, always supporting, encouraging & proud of each of us.  You left us so quickly and our hearts are broken.    Thankyou Mum, we love you and will miss you so much.

Lisa, Brett, Darcy, Eddie & Tess
