She taught Afrikaans at Bishops Prep for 27 years (1980 – 2007). She also spent countless hours on the tennis courts and did not hand out any pink papers in 27 years!
She will be remembered for her dedication and always taking a sincere interest in people.
On her retirement in 2007, a bench was placed on Stanmore field to commemorate her service with the following inscription:
“You must serve faithfully in the fear of the Lord – 2 Chronicles 19:9”
That she has done.
A remembrance service was held on 26 December for immediate family only, due to Covid restrictions.
She will be missed.
