Samantha Armytage has shared a touching tribute to her late grandmother, Dorothy Flannery, who died this month at age 100.
“Last week ~ we laid our beautiful Nanny Flannery to rest. She was 100 & she was just pure magic ✨” the TV host shared.
“A grandmother’s love is like no other,” she said.
Armytage, 49, remembered her “universally adored” ’Nanny Flannery’ as a woman who loved colour, especially yellow.
“Fittingly, the autumn day she passed, the light shone through the glorious Ginkgo tree in my garden 💛” Armytage remembered.
“She’s shining with my mama now (& Banjo 🐾) … how lucky am I to have three Guardian Angels.”
Armytage’s mother – and Dorothy’s daughter – Libby passed away in 2020 after a long battle with an autoimmune disease.

Armytage also lost her Labrador, Banjo, suddenly in 2024.
The presenter ended her tribute with a sentiment that touched her followers.
“She deserves a good rest … but Lordy, we shall miss her,” she wrote of her grandmother.
Armytage’s friends and followers sent their condolences.
“Such beautiful tributes for your Nanny Flannery. What a wonderful woman she must have been. Sending big hugs to you and your family. ❤️” said Channel 9’s Belinda Russell.
“Sorry for your loss of such a special lady in your life. How lucky you were. May she rest peacefully now. 🫶🏼” said another.
A third said Armytage’s words had changed their own grief journey.
“I lost my beautiful Mum a couple of months ago and she was 97. Your words have made something shift in me with my grieving,” they wrote.
“How very true … they do deserve a good rest but oh how we will miss them. Thank you 💝 Hugs to you.”
