Vale - Anne Taylerson
22 September 1939 - 7 March 2021
Around 80 family and friends gathered on March 17 to celebrate the life of Anne Taylerson – a stalwart of the Warkworth Music Society, Warkworth Floral Art Club and the Warkworth Wellsford Budget Service.
Anne died peacefully at her home earlier this month. She was 81.
Anne grew up in Taihape and Kaikohe and later trained as a nurse at Whangarei Hospital.
An early adventure was travelling to England by ship with two nursing friends – an overseas experience that saw her travel all over Europe between stints of nursing and other fill-in jobs.
She returned to New Zealand in 1964 but soon afterwards joined the Australian Inland Mission, run by the Presbyterian Church, and was assigned to a small isolated hospital and children’s hostel on the Cape York peninsula.
