A Schrader Family Tree has the birth as Christchurch.

Did she marry?

I posted in the other thread on the same subject that her ER entries up to 1981 were in her maiden name.

She was my long lost aunt ,It has to be at least 40 years since I last saw her. Do they have addresses on the Electoral Roll, I might be able to catch up with other lost relatives

It looks like there were two obituaries (Joan Thorn) published on 16 & 18 December 2000. You could get copies of these to help trace living family members.

Yes.
The most convenient way for you to see historic electoral rolls up to 1981 is in the Ancestry collection. These are free at your Whakatane library.
They probably have the current (printed) electoral rolls too.
