Nita was a true cinema pioneer in the Australian film industry. Jack & Nita had 4 children, the eldest John, died in infancy, then there were the 3 of us. The film industry runs deep in the Gardiner clan, cinematographers, editors, directors, and of course those sensible enough to have found careers outside the industry. Mum was one of 5 children in a close knit & loving family. Brothers, Ron & Darrell & sisters Gwendoline and Joan. She treasured her large & extended family. Family reunions, weddings and trips to Bathurst gave her opportunities to catch up with her loved nieces & nephews. All of whom held very, very special places in her heart. Many, many wonderful times were spent with her beloved Joan and her husband David Williams. She dearly loved their children Kim & Candice, I think sometimes as much, if not more, than us. She made lifelong friends in the industry & stayed close with them her whole life. They were a huge part of her life & she treasured their friendships. Theatre nights, dinners, lunches. Such good friends and such good times. So many special people in Mums life. She touched many hearts & her heart was touched by many. Nita had a wonderful industry nickname. "Angel puss", bestowed upon her by the great K.G. Hall. Mum always said it was because he couldn't remember her name but we prefer to believe it was because she looked like a little angel. The last party she attended was for Jennis birthday in April. She stayed out late and had a continuous line of new and old friends wanting to talk to the wonderful little old lady that was our Mum. In a world where wealth is often a measure of people's worth, love has the most value. Mum loved her kids, her grandkids and great grandkids, their partners, their wives, her family and her friends. They in return loved her to bits which made her one of the wealthiest people in the world. Go well and thank you for being such a great Mum The ACS is deeply saddened by the loss of Nita Gardiner, a pioneer in the industry herself, and wife to Jack Gardiner ACS one of our ACS Founding fathers and Federal President. Nitas legacy is her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren, and of course her ACS Accredited son and grandson Calvin and Tony Gardiner. Rest in Peace Nita, you will not be forgotten.
