Annette Claire PEARCE, (nee Brettargh)

Thinking fondly of my godmother Annette and all her kindnesses over the years. Especially the small china plates she used to give me for my birthday. A lovely woman. Also a great friend of Mum's. Arohanui, Heeni Collins

Annette, or Mrs Pearce as I called her when I was a child, was like a mum to me. I learnt so much from her. She had such a lovely way of gently correcting us if we used the wrong word or said a sentence incorrectly, and I really appreciated that.

I'll never forget my brother saying, "I've got me tennis racket for the day," as we were driving to Waitotara Primary School, and Mrs Pearce gently replying, "No, Kevin. It's, 'I have my tennis racket to play tennis today.'" It was all part of the wonderful way she taught us.

I was so lucky to experience so many fun places and happy times because Anna was my best friend. Mrs Pearce was such a loving, caring lady that I often wished she was my mum too. Although she wasn't, I feel incredibly fortunate that I got to spend so much time with her—whether it was at school, visiting her parents, or going on so many adventures together.

She played such a special part in my childhood, and I'll always be grateful for everything she taught me and the love she showed me. ❤️

I met gorgeous Annie in the medical ward 2 years ago.
Annie was an absolute treasure. She had me in fits of laughter
She was as quick as lightning. Her personality shone through.

I was so sad when.annie was transferred to rehab area. I visited her there.
When she left our room.pushed along in.the bed she yelled out to me Annie Pearce, ? GREAT North Road. Number in phone book..she was a scream.
Annie will be sadly missed.
One of the characters of this world.

She spoke a lot about her loved Gardner and he visited her when I was there.

Bless Annie. She lit up my life. We in the room had so much fun.together.

With love to your family.

Sincere Condolences. Annette was a true lady and a pleasure to know. RIP Annette
