WILD, Anne Marie (née Howorth

It is with deep sadness that we announce the peaceful, yet sudden passing of Anne after a courageous battle with illness, on Wednesday 14 October 2026. Dearly loved wife of John, cherished mother and mother-in-law of Aaron, Shannon and Lisa and adored Nanna Anne of Eli, Louie, and Freddie. Much loved sister, sister-in-law, Aunty and dear friend of many. In keeping with Anne’s wishes, a memorial celebration of her life will be held at the Ascot Park Hotel, Cnr of Tay Street and Racecourse Road Invercargill, on Tuesday 20 October at 2.00pm, followed by a time to share memories, stories and laughter, and to celebrate a life well lived. If you wish to view Anne’s service via livestream please visit the Avenal Park obituaries page, and click on the link on Anne’s profile. In lieu of flowers, donations to Dementia New Zealand would be warmly appreciated and may be left at the service. Messages to 87 McIvor Road, Myross Bush, Invercargil 9872.
