Edna Neville began work in the children's department of Hay's department store in 1929. In 1944 she became the fourth, last and most famous Aunt Haysl, running the Hay's Junior League for children, with its competitions, magazine, choir and other activities. Her office was on Hay's Roof, which had a playgound, a theatre and other attractions for children. Aunt Haysl also had a weekly radio session. Miss Neville retired as Aunt Haysl in 1981, after over 37 years in the position. Miss Neville was active in many other community organisations. She was a long-time member of the Repertory Society, and a charter member of the Christchurch Altrusa Club from its formation in 1996.
Hay's Ltd. became Farmers in 1987, and Hay's Roof as such closed, though the roof remained open as a playground for children until the demolition of the old building ten years later.
