Details
DescriptionPrinted in colour in the 'Leader' on September 6, 1995 with a picture of Sonja cutting the cake.
Sonja's mother had been an unmarried nurse; Sonja was cared for by the Renshaw family (Daisy's parents) in their Victoria Street nursing home until she moved to her grandmother's in the South Island at the age of two.
Sonja had been involved with the Lower Hutt centre during her time as an M P, and had recently visited on in a South African black township. The smallest centre she had opened was in Wairoa.
The centre was in a council-owned house on the corner of Blenheim and Brown streets; it was to be removed next year.
Daisy died on December 8, 1995, aged 85; an obituary was printed on the 13th, with her picture cropped from this image. She was a life member of the Women's Division of Federated Farmers; the family had farmed in Whiteman's Valley for 50 years.
