Beautiful Dot. We are so honoured to have spent the time with you that we did. Your funny, witty jokes and comments and your cheeky smile, are so missed. Reunited with your beloved husband, Eric. We miss you.
Lots of love, Katie and the Lifestyle Team

Here’s to Mum’s wonderful sister and our Aunty Dot. With her beautiful smile, grace and intelligence, and cheeky humour. Babe remembers her as a truly kind and caring sister. Dot comforted and checked in on her, when Babe was a naive and shy country girl joining the army with her big sister. We will always remember the sisters ( who were oh so alike physically) holding hands as centenarians together, defying the odds , and truly bonded for 2 precious lifetimes.. Her last words to Babe only a week or so ago..”Are you my sister?’ will be treasured always. We love you Dot – rest well with Uncle Eric. Our thoughts extend to all the family. Babe, Kaye and Dianne Thomas and Rob Jolly

Nana you will be so missed however, you are now reunited with Pa. You welcomed me into the Rowley family with open arms 29 years ago, our children have wonderful memories of spending time with you growing up and enjoying your Anzac biscuits that they loved so much. You are gone Nana but never forgotten, you are very loved and we will cherish our memories with you forever.

Love always Tammy Rowley (granddaughter in law) xx

Dear Dot. You and Eric were great supporters of our church and the many events we held. We all loved you both and shared many memories. Now in God’s loving care. Ian Combridge. Co-Operating Churches.

Thinking of you all at this this sad time, love Eva and Mark

To Barry, Val & family
Sending our deepest condolences to you all. In our thoughts today at this difficult time. X

What a great life Mrs Dot Rowley lived.

She and Eric were my parents (John and Norma Hadden) very first supportive near neighbours /dairy farmers at Hazelwood South when we bought our first small dairy farm with 36 cows in 1960.
John came from Coleraine, sheep farming and couldn’t afford to buy in the Western district so Eric and Dot and family took us under their wings in all things farming and socially.

The dad’s held “hair cut” evenings every few months right up to the time my father died in 1985. The mum’s were wonderful cooks of sponges, slices and numerous cakes of which my brothers thought these events were Xmas.

On behalf of Norma Hadden and our extended family we send our love and condolences to Barry, Bill and Margaret and your families.

Our thoughts are with you all at this time.
Sending all our love, Heather and Mick xx

My thoughts to the Rowley family on the passing of gentle caring Dot…
A fiend to Mum and Dad,( Betty and Les) at No 6 for over 4O yrs, spending many hours gardening, baking and playing cards…
And recently taking me under your wing and making a friend of Mali by opening the side gate to give her your yummy biscuits…she loved visiting eagerly with tail wagging.
Have missed you as my neighbours…
RIP Dot ( gone now to Eric )
Much love
Lesley xx

Dear Dot…
You took me under your wing in 2014 when I moved in next door and we spent many an hour chatting over cuppas and always an Anzac biscuits…
You were friends to Mum and Dad for over 40 yrs, sharing ideas for gardening, playing cards and being great friends
Many a day I’d find the gate open and you’d let Mali in for a cuddle and a biscuit…She learnt to bark for you to sneak her in, many happy tail wags!!!
I’ve missed having you and Eric next door
Now you are together once more, an amazing life you’ve both had..
Loving thoughts and condolences to the Rowley family
RIP Dot, a gentle caring friend
Sadly missed
