Obituary
Norma Harper
Norma was
a life member of the Savage Club having been associated with it through her husband back in the dark ages when women were shunned. She was a key member of the Wahines supporting them with her piano accompaniment at their practices and performances.
Most
of us were at Norma’s funeral and I am sure that we were all surprised at the number of people there and the wide range of interests that she had, well beyond her Savage Club contribution. She had a strong family connection to this area so many of her
friends from school and throughout her life were there to see her off.
We will miss her at the club. I always enjoyed her piano items and she was always there whenever she could be to give us some really classy piano performances.
Let us all have a good year, staying strong.
Regards
Ross Nicholson
