Invitation

Dear Family & Friends of Tungia,
Tungia Baker’s daughters wish to invite family and friends of Tungia to join us for a special Memorial Unveiling at Rangiatea Church, Otaki, New Zealand.

Tungia lived a life which wove together many people. We are from different whanau and tribal, cultural, political, educational, scientific, artistic, spiritual, business and community networks.
Because of this, pulling her life story together offers up some great challenges! What we do know is that what made her such an interesting person to be with; was the fact that she enjoyed being with interesting individuals ... like you.


Ways you can contribute:
