Grace Dorset was a doer and when it came to fighting some of the country s worst social problems, she walked the talk. The 85-year-old died on Wednesday last week after a battle from an illness and was laid to rest at Pukepoto Urupa in Rotorua on Sunday.
Dorset was described as a quiet achiever who didn t let on exactly how much she contributed to society.
But given her role in social services in the city, it was only fitting she was awarded an ONZM for services to Māori in 2012.
