(54 years)
Loving and adored mother of the late Caitlin; Eli and Daniel Renfree. Dearly loved and loving eldest daughter of Avis (nee Lindsay) and Roger Hallinan. Cherished sister of Cara and Gina, and loved sister-in-law of Dave Ashurst and Tim Knight. Loved and respected niece, cousin and friend of many. Lorel leaves an inspiring example of how to embrace life and its challenges with courage, determination, and dignity.
May the road rise to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun always shine warm upon your face,
The rain fall soft upon your fields,
And until we meet again, we hold you softly in our hearts.
Our thanks go out to the doctors and staff led by Dr Jess Maxwell at Timaru and Christchurch Hospitals, and those at Nurse Maude Hospice Christchurch for their kindness and support of Lorel. In lieu of flowers, donations to Nurse Maude Hospice would be appreciated and may be made online at
