She loved and was loved as Nana Joy by her

Wiremu.
She had great connections and aroha with her
many cousins, nieces, nephews and friends...
Mum/Nana Joy, had a very full extensive life of
giving, sharing and caring, involving herself in
the community of Taupō thru the Anglican
Church(60s, 70s), various PTAs, Hunt Club,
Racing Club, Pony Club. Her last committee
position was serving The Women's Section of
the RSA, on its National and Tauranga

Ridley Moyors, Toyota, Suncoast, Gulliver, Oasis,
Beach Haven, Lochinvar, Godfrey Holdings, to
name a few, we're built by their business which
they humbly had pride in.
Joy 'came home' so Taupo could be her future
resting place.
Whanau would like to graciously thank the staff
of Wharerangi for making the few months she
was there, caring and enjoyable for her. The
whanau would like to thank the staff of Taupo
Hospital, the doctors, nurses and aides that
made her last days comfortable with their skills
and essential kindness. To the Minister who
gave Mum karakia, to help settle her spiritually
so she could be sent into the arms of her
tupuna...ngā mihi.
To the warm and caring whanau that is Taupo
Funeral Services...ngā mihi
Abiding with Joys wishes she has already been
cremated. A notice will be given at a future time
when the wildness of the world will allow a
memorial gathering that gives her life the
celebration it deserves.
"Ko tōu kahuwai I rangi hei whakaruruhau, ko
koe hoki te hua o te kākano I whakatohia"
"Your mother's positive caring influences provide
shelter for you, the sacred seed that was
nurtured within her"
Okioki i runga i te rangimarie....RIP

Murray Francis Graham, 27th February 1956 - 17th March 2026

“Muzza” – racer, battler, and proud last-word enthusiast

Crossed the ultimate chequered flag just after 6:00am, doing it his way—peacefully at home, surrounded by family and a pit crew of love, including his three adored grandkids.

True to form, he showed remarkable determination right to the end, even managing one final word after we thought the race was run—because of course he did.

Muzza lived a life well-driven and well-loved, leaving tyre marks on the hearts of all who knew him. He played a part in many stories, most of them better (and louder) for it.

An open service to celebrate a life less ordinary will be held in Taupō on Sunday 22nd March at 1pm, The Founders Chapel of Remembrance. 117 Rickit Street,Taupo. All who shared in Muzza’s journey are warmly invited to attend and raise a smile (and perhaps a story or two).

Deepest thanks for the overwhelming support and love—he would’ve appreciated it, even if he pretended not to.

Forever loved. Never quiet. 🏁
