Stunning Portrait of Possum Bourne Revealed
Peggy Bourne was the first to see a stunning new painting of her late husband at a poignant unveiling held recently at the Ryman Healthcare retirement village named after him.
Peggy, accompanied by two of her three children, Spencer and Jazlin, and her niece Samantha, were wowed by artist Craig Primrose’s canvas which will go on display in the reception of the Pukekohe village.
An estimated 200 residents and visitors packed out the village lounge for the special occasion, which comes 20 years after Possum was killed in a non-competitive car collision.
The family, along with Craig Primrose, were welcomed by Village Manager Wendy Stanton and Ryman Healthcare’s NZ Chief Executive, Cheyne Chalmers, who explained that Possum Bourne very quickly became the obvious choice as a village name after Ryman bought the site in 2014.
It became very clear that the name of the village just had to be Possum Bourne,” Cheyne said.
“It was the overwhelmingly favourite name when we asked Pukekohe for suggestions. And we loved the name too.”
