Tributes

  1. Julie and family.
    Mary will always be remembered in our family. Mary was the lollipop lady at school for my boys and she watched them grow through their primary school years. It was always wonderful having a chat to her.
    Deeply missed.
    Wendy, Ian, Daniel and Thomas Hitchcock.

  2. Dear Julie.
    Judy & Mal are so sorry to hear of the passing of your beautiful mum Mary.
    I have many memories of our bowling days together. Also for your kindness to Andrew our son, when he started working age 16 with you at Smiths. Your kindness shown by you to your mum will never be forgotten.
    To be with her Vinnie will be everything she desired.
    RIP Mary Ford.
