LEACHMAN,
Vivienne Linda
(née Parrant):
11 April 1945 -
12 December 2019
It is with deep sadness we farewell our beautiful mother who
passed gracefully at home after a short illness with her
three girls by her side. A wonderful wife to the late
Andrew, adored mother of Victoria and the late Miles,
Siobhan and Conrad, and Vashti and Darren. The most
supportive hands-on Granny to Catherine, Fintan, Kingsley
and Kobi. We are heartbroken but forever grateful for all
she has given us. Mum, you surrounded yourself with your
loves: family, friends, music, travel, clothes, design, and
nature. You left with dignity and no regrets. A true friend
and inspiration to so many. We love you so much. We invite
Viv's friends to celebrate her wonderful life in her
beautiful garden at 176 Nile Street, Nelson, on Monday,
December 16, between 2.00pm and 4.00pm. Alternative venue –
umbrellas!
