RIP Lady Chapman

All National Party members will be saddened to hear of the passing away of Lady (Jacqueline) Chapman on Monday.  Sir George and Lady Chapman hold a special place within the National Party, having served it tirelessly for decades.

Lady Chapman was 81 when she died. She was still active and I recall seeing her at last year’s Rimutaka selection meetings.

My condolences go out especially to Sir George, but also to all the Chapman family and friends.

The funeral is at St Margaret’s Church, Dunns Street, Silverstream at 11 am on Friday.
