Marni's story
Feels like home
Bupa resident Marni has just returned home after renewing her drivers license in town. 81 years young, she’s lived at Bupa St Kilda Retirement Village for the past seven years.
Originally from Ireland, Marni and her husband Jeff emigrated to New Zealand 25 years ago. “We came on holiday to visit our daughter Sally – and never went back!” laughs Marni. The couple’s decision to make the move from their home in Raglan to retirement village living at Bupa St Kilda was triggered by Jeff’s ill health, with St Kilda’s offering of an on-site care home giving them both the peace of mind and independence they desired. Marni and Jeff were married for 57 years before Jeff passed away in 2019.
