Much-loved broadcaster Kerry Smith was farewelled at a private family funeral in Auckland yesterday, attended by her heavily-pregnant daughter Kimberley.

The Breeze radio host died on Wednesday after a battle with melanoma.

A public notice placed by Kimberley in yesterday's Weekend Herald described her mother as "the glue that kept us together, the light in our day, the love of our lives".

MediaWorks stations, led by The Breeze, are planning a tribute show to celebrate Smith's life. She was well-known through TV roles on Changing Rooms and Gloss.
