Sister J. R. Kearney Sister Janet Ramsay Kearney, a well-known figure in the Maori mission field around Taupo, Te Teka, Waikaremoana and Taumarunui, died in Wanganui last December. She was 68. Born in Scotland, she came to New Zealand 60 years ago and lived for many years at Fordell, where her father, the late Rev. W. Kearney, was Presbyterian minister. Sister Kearney later did her deaconess training at Dunedin before working amongst the Maori people. From 1945 to 1950 she was president of a committee, consisting of representatives of three denominations, which was set up to build a church on the shores of the lake at Tuai near Waikaremoana. In 1963, along with the Anglican and Methodist ministers, she was invited to open the new church, and preached the first sermon in it. Sister Kearney had lived in Wanganui since her retirement in 1956.
