Irene Lowery died NZ?

[EdCan]

I would like to find out if Irene died in New Zealand and if so where and when.
Irene Ketteringham was born 1921 Lincoln England. She married Frederick Arthur Lowery 19 Dec 1945 in Lincoln and they departed to New Zealand 9 May 1947. I have been told that Fred and Irene divorced abt 1978 and that Fred remarried. I know that Fred died 19 Jul 2000 in Auckland. Irene may have died abt 2011 but this is not a fact. I have no idea if she remarried or even stayed in New Zealand after the divorce.

To find where, you may need to find the record here,

https://www.bdmhistoricalrecords.dia.govt.nz/home/

and order a printout of the death. The printout costs $NZ25, and it can be emailed to you.

I did find a partial online obituary - "Irene's Notice

The Everil Orr village is in Mt Albert, Auckland.
