Kathleen 'Joan' McKenzie (30 Dec 1942 - 24 Oct 2026)

You will always be my mum and forever be my friend.
A love like yours won't go away and you'll be in my heart everyday. I could ask a hundred people and they would all say the same, firstly would be the smile, always smiling mum, the smile we'll never ever forget... that you had a heart of pure gold, so kind. You were funny in the sweetest most unaware way. You were giving, always thinking of us before yourself. Losing you is the hardest thing ever and my heart is breaking right now but you will be in my heart forever. I have made a promise to myself to 'Be more Mum' and i'll try my very best not to let you down. I don't begin to know what happens when we are gone but i do hope mum that i see your gorgeous smiling face again one day. Your loving daughter Debra.💔

Dear Joan, you will always hold a special place in my heart. I feel lucky to have been part of your family and to have shared precious memories with you. You will be remembered with love and affection. Rest peacefully. ❤️

Nana, I love you loads.
You were a bright soul with a contagious smile.
You will be missed by us all.

All my love,
Your granddaughter Melisa x

In loving memory of my sister Joan,

In memory of beloved Aunt Kathleen ‘Joan’ McKenzie

Auntie Joan, you were a beautiful soul, inside and out. You were my most youthful and joyful Auntie and I will always remember you so. To our family - we send loving thoughts to you as you navigate this life without your wife, mum and grandma.

To my beautiful Mum,

I wish I could find the words to tell you how much I love you and how much you have always meant to me.

There are so many things Alzheimer's has taken from me, including my ability to say the things I feel in my heart. But I hope you always knew just how much I loved you.

You were my mum, my comfort, and a part of my life that no illness could ever truly take away.
I may not have always been able to show it or say it, especially towards the end, but the love between a mother and daughter is something very special. It lives somewhere deeper than words and memories.

Thank you, Mum, for loving me, for being there, and for all the little things that made you who you were.

I'm sorry I couldn't say goodbye in the way I would have wanted. If I could have just one more moment with you, I would hold your hand, give you a hug and tell you how much I love you.

Sleep peacefully, my beautiful Mum. You will always be a part of me, even when I can no longer find the words to tell you.**

All my love, always,

❤️❤️ Your loving daughter, Dawn ❤️❤️

My beautiful big sister Joan the loveliest woman anyone could have known. Her sweet nature shone in that beautiful smile. She was my world growing up and I will always cherish love and miss you goodnight rest in peace and love sis.
