CH-7525980AB 18 MIRROR, JANUARY 25, 2017 stuff.co.nz Lashings of love lift patients’ spirits SUE FEA meets the remarkable Clarice May, Queenstown’s queen of kitchen and kindness...

To liken colourful Queenstown 95-year-old Clarice May to a breath of fresh air would be a gross understatement. She is more like a warm, uplifting breeze of awe-inspiring positivity. One of Southland’s best-known bowel cancer survivors, and believed to be its oldest, Clarice has spent the 55 years since her own diagnosis, aged 40, helping other patients to get the best out of life. That’s her specialty and what she does best. She’s been rising before dawn ever since to bake her famous shortbread, muffins, meringues and ginger nuts to deliver to can- cer patients, in hospital and at home. The baking comes served with plenty of good practical advice and a warm, cheery smile. Immaculately-presented with full colour co-ordinated nails, make-up and matching cardies, Clarice is always dressed as brightly as she sounds: ‘‘I just love baking and I love doing some- thing for people that they like.’’ Failing eyesight means she could no longer drive this year to deliver her lashings of love to patients around the Wakatipu. When you’ve turned out a mul- titude of muffins like Clarice, fail- ing eyesight is no barrier to being a blessing. Clarice May at home in Frankton with some of her tasty treats: ‘‘I just love baking and I love doing something for people that they like.’’ SUE FEA ‘‘It doesn’t bother me a bit.
