On the anniversary of their passing we remember two elderly Canadian sisters who while visiting Rarotonga as tourists in March 1981, tragically drowned in the lagoon.
Frances Hayden Chadwick (nee Moss) and Elizabeth DeLatre O'Donnell (nee Moss) had quite a famous younger sister in Winnipeg Manitoba Canada in the 1930's. Miss Judith Moss (later Mrs Judith Sullivan) won the gold medal in the 3 metre springboard diving event at the 1934 British Empire Games (now Commonwealth Games). Following the Empire Games, Judith Moss returned to Canada to a heroes welcome.
Our cemetery residents really have some incredible stories to tell.
Rest In Peace and Love Frances Hayden Chadwick (nee Moss) and Elizabeth DeLatre O'Donnell (nee Moss). You were buried on foreign shores a long way from home but you haven’t been forgotten. 💐🇨🇦
