MORRALL Avril Lorna (nee Peart) 1951-2023: Avril left us peacefully on the 19^th of November. During her final days she was surrounded by her loving family Andrew, Rachel, Michael, Sofia and Oliver; her sister Lesley and brother-in-law Temu. She brought joy and love to many lives, thought endlessly of others and had many, many special friends too numerous to note. We thank them all and our wider family for their support and love over the last months. Special thanks also to Nurse Maude Hospice staff who devoted themselves to Avril’s care so beautifully. Avril wanted everyone to know that “dancing is what music looks like” She loved to dance and be with friends and family. We will miss her terribly. Look for her spark. Live life! Dance! As she would want you to. In accordance with Avril’s wishes, a private cremation and interment have been held. And again, in accordance with her wishes, a party will be held for her at a time in the future to be confirmed. In lieu of flowers donations please to the Nurse Maude Hospice, whose staff cared for Avril so carefully. https://nursemaude.org.nz/donate/ Messages may be addressed to The Morrall Family c/- PO Box 39127, Christchurch 8545.
