VALE Neryl Chant (nee Knight) 28/10/1940-2/11 ... - All Saints College

Neryl’s funeral service was held at Holy Trinity Church and
conducted by Reverend Diane Beal, who had been Neryl’s friend from the
time when Neryl taught Diane’s children at school. During the service,
reference was made to her days at Marsden with her sisters, Heather and
Kay; and of her long-time friendships formed with other girls at the school.
Gwenda (Fisher), Judy (Penzer) and Rae (Lemon0 were at the service.
Condolences sent by other ex-Marsden long-term friends have been received
from Papua New Guinea, Queensland, South Australia, Tasmania and
several in NSW. Precious and treasured friendships indeed!
Psalm 121 was featured in the service (and “our” version was read by
her niece, Melanie Murray, who had also attended Marsden).
Neryl was devoted to her beloved Mum and all her family, and
especially as a loving Mother to David and Rosanne, and Nanny Neryl to
her four beautiful grandchildren: Eloise and Nicholas Paine and Aiden and
Lauren Robinson.
Neryl will be remembered for her devotion to her career; her resilience
and positive attitude; and her unconditional loyalty and love to her family,
friends and acquaintances. And at all times we’ll remember that friendly
smile, and “all the little things” that Neryl did. A poem (by Margaret
Lindsay) says it all:
The little things
Are most worthwhile-
A quiet word,
A look, a smile,
A listening ear
That’s quick to share
Another’s thoughts
Another’s care..........
Though sometimes they may seem quite small,
These little things mean MOST OF ALL.
