Margaret Hope Obituary
With solemn hearts, we announce the passing of Margaret Hope (Christchurch, South Island), whose presence will be deeply missed, having departed on May 17, 2026. Family and friends are welcome to leave their condolences on this memorial page and share them with the family.
As we bid Margaret farewell, let us not mourn the absence of her physical form, but rather celebrate the essence of her spirit that lingers in the spaces between moments. For Margaret is not truly gone, but merely transformed, her energy intertwined with the fabric of the universe itself, forever dancing among the stars.
She was loved and cherished by many people including: her husband Peter; and her children, Alison Rudd, Cynthia (James Mackenzie), Viv (Mike Slater) and Marian Bryce. She was also cherished by Grandma of her 13 grandchildren, 24 great-grandchildren, and two great-great-grandchildren.
A funeral service was held on Friday, May 22nd 2026 at 1:00 PM at the Knox Presbyterian Church (28 Bealey Avenue, Christchurch Central City, Christchurch 8013, New Zealand).
