Hundreds gathered at Cleveland Chapel yesterday afternoon to farewell popular Whanganui artist Karen Ellett who died on Sunday.
Ellett was well known in a range of Whanganui circles after spending 21 years in the city before moving to Auckland in 2016.
She was known in Whanganui as a glass artist who helped set up Chronicle Glass and was also a regular in local theatre productions.
In Auckland she pursued an acting career starting by completing The Actor's Program in 2016 before getting roles in Auckland theatre and recently a Ladi6 music video.
