Esme Robinson

Previous Matron of Clark House, Esme Robinson sadly passed away peacefully at Taurima Rest Home in New Plymouth on 3 March 2023, aged 88 years, surrounded by family.

Her family describes her as the loveliest, most mischievous Mum and Grandma in the world.

Esme was Matron of Clark House from 1993-2000. During her time here, Esme sewed together a robe out of unclaimed boxer shorts from the boys of Clark House which now resides in the Reynolds Room museum.
