Enid NIMMO Obituary

Born in Wanganui 11 January 1926. Quietly slipped away Monday 2 February 2026, aged 100 years. Much loved wife of her dearest Jim (dec 1989). Greatest cheer leader for Reg, and Rachael. Loved mother-in-law of Shona, and David. Proud Grandmother of James, Craig, Kelda, and Dave. Great-Grandmother of Alia, Cooper, Greer; John, Isla, and Archer; Sophie, and Connor. She was fiercely independent, determined, and resourceful. She met life's challenges full on and was an inspiration to those who knew and loved her. She had a great store of knowledge and wisdom we all benefitted from. Thanks to the caring staff at New Vista. Reunited with Jim, faithful to the end.

The Lord is my shepherd I shall not want.

Reg and Rachael I am sorry to read of your Mum's passing.
She was a beautiful woman.
I remember her being absolutely delighted to see me on an aircraft in 1980 when I was returning from 2 years overseas.
Memories of St David's, Aramoho School and Dad's time at the Pylon Dairy.
Unfortunately, I am unable to attend her funeral tomorrow.
God bless you all
