In Memoriam: Beverley Newton 1925-2024

One of the first committee members of Remuera Heritage, Beverley Newton, passed away in July 2024, in her 100th year, in the house where she was born in Remuera.

She was one of five interviewees for our oral history project in 2018. The recordings are held at the Central Library, Auckland Libraries – see https://kura.aucklandlibraries.govt.nz/digital/collection/oralhistory/id/4050/rec/624

Beverley loved art and writing for New Zealand Memories magazine. She said her garden with its large trees and flowers kept her going…

Here is her obituary from the New Zealand Herald.
