Rose Kirkup

KIRKUP, Rosemarie Heather (Rose). – On October 9, 2025 peacefully at Te Omanga Hospice, Lower Hutt; aged 39 years surrounded by family and friends. Loved daughter of Bill & Marie. Youngest sister of John, Penny, Madeleine, Dave, Anne, Claire, and Jay. “Rage Aunt” of Liv, Chris, Eydie, Ella, Curtis, Henry, Jake, Charlotte, Flo, Ritchie, Sarah, Lulu, and Fia. Best friend forever of Jacob and Ben. When you are lonely and sick at heart, go to the friends we know. Laugh at all the things we used to do. Miss me, but let me go to the river. In lieu of flowers, donations to Te Omanga Hospice would be appreciated and can be made online. A celebration of Rose’s life will be held on Wednesday, October 15, 2025 at Silverstream Retreat, 3 Reynolds Bach Drive, Lower Hutt at 1.00pm followed by private cremation.
