Press Release: New Zealand Government
“Missy Teka was a talented musician in her own right, a wonderful person and a good friend. I am truly saddened by her passing” Minister of Maori Affairs, Parekura Horomia said today.
Missy Teka, the widow of the late Prince Tui Teka, passed away yesterday.
“Missy was internationally renowned for her continuous support of her late husband Prince Tui Teka, but within her home of Tokomaru Bay and amongst Ngati Porou whanau she was seen as much much more.”
“She always had a lovely disposition and was a pleasure to work with and be around. She was a talented modern musician, but could also hold her own on stage performing kapa haka.”
“Her loss will be felt by many and my thoughts are with her friends and whanau during this very sad time.”
