Caryll CLAUSEN Obituary

Michael and I were in Sydney and so were unable to attend Caryll's service, thanks to technology we watched the service live. Thankfully we visited Caryll the week before we went away. Caryll was a great support when mum, Melvie passed away and we had many conversations about their fun times and life together. Caryll was a very wise and caring friend and will be very much missed.

An amazing woman who was a giant in our community for so many years - and a great supporter for us as we ventured into the Political world

Much respected lady who was my Elocution tutor.

To Malcolm and Annette, Warrick and Kaye and families we extend our deep sympathy. We are sure many wonderful memories of your mother will see you through this sad time.
Our love
Colin and Liz

Warwick and family, it's been a very long time, but it's a part of my childhood I remember fondly.
My best wishes to you all on this sad occasion .

Please accept our sincere condolences. We are away in Auckland and will unfortunately miss Caryll's sevice. Caryll and my Dad Trevor were great friends, with Dad nominating Caryll at election time. Looking back, leading the transition from Borough and Counties to District Council as smoothly as she did was an incredible achievement of Caryll's. I enjoyed my relationship with her from my days at Feilding Promotion, and in fact Caryll agreed to the seed funding for us to get established in 1993. Over my time as a Councillor I received many phone calls from Caryll. "Hello Michael, Caryll Clausen speaking. I am absolutely (the next word was the one I waited for with trepidation. It would either be disgusted or delighted). Caryll was a straight shooter who told you what she thought. Luckily I ended up with more 'delighteds' than 'disgusteds,' but I did have one or two!
Caryll continued to take a keen interest in local politics and elections, and would often vocalise what others were too shy to say at meet the candidate events.
Caryll was a great Mayor, a strong person who cared deeply about others, and a wonderful personality.
Best wishes to Caryll's family and friends.
