Hundreds turn out to pay their respects to Noelene Tait, 84, who died after a crash on Frankton Road on January 14 while on her way home from the library in Queenstown.
One of the original members of the Arrow Miners Band, Noelene loved Irish music and used to go to The Fork and Tap in Arrowtown and play on Wednesday nights.
The former theatre nurse at Kew Hospital, now Southland Hospital, in Invercargill moved to Queenstown 21 years ago after her late husband, Peter, died.
Noelene was heavily involved in the community and spent a huge amount of time entertaining residents at resthomes in Queenstown, either playing music for them or playing cards with them.
