A lovely lady, with one of the kindest hearts ever. Will be very much missed.
May was a very special and humble lady. She was interested in people, and if you were in her presence you knew you were the full focus of her life at that time. She gave you her full attention. The world is a sadder place without this wonderful woman.
So sorry to hear of Aunty May’s passing. She was a lovely lady. Our sincere sympathies to all the family at this sad time. We cannot make the funeral but will live stream. Love Karen and Mark Ritchie

May’s longevity was evidence that being interested in people keeps you young. She always had a smile on her face and when she asked how you were it was with genuine interest. She will live on in her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren who adored her and in the memories of all of us who had the luck to meet her. Luigi and I send our love to you all.
Aunty May was such a lovely and gentle lady. She always showed a genuine interest in our lives over the years and had an amazing memory for names and details. Her kindness and compassion for others was inspiring and her legacy will live on in her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. Will miss our phone chats and family updates but will always fondly look back on all the wonderful shared memories with the Vinson family. Thank you for being such a loving sister in law to our Mum, June over the years. May you rest easy now with Uncle Jack. Sending our love and condolences to all the family.
