Vale - Annette Officer
It is with sadness that we also report the passing of Annette Officer in late October. Annette was a long time IPPS member who worked at Riverview Growers at Oamaru for over 30 years, before retiring with her husband Gordon to Twizel at the end of 2007.
Annette was a regular attendee at conferences and other IPPS events sharing her knowledge and experiences with other members.
- Margaret Buschl of Riverview Growers contributed the following:
Annette was a lovely lady and passionate about her job as well as the people she met. She was a good organiser and was involved in organising the Oamaru and the Dunedin IPPS conferences. She was so involved in many other activities in the community as well. - Gus Evans contributed the following:
Annette always willingly volunteered whenever asked to help out at Conferences or Field Trips.
One lasting memory will always be when Annette and Gordon's son, played the bagpipes for an early morning wakeup call at the last Dunedin Conference.
Her contribution to our Society was outstanding. She will be very sadly missed by all her IPPS family.
