She was an example of a teacher who embraced and honoured all. A model of inclusion and diversity, she was loved by all of her students who will remember her love of learning, books, arts and culture and providing focus on indigenous populations. Her children will remember her for her unconditional love, embracing hugs, love of music and dance, her international cooking, healthy baking, her progressive snack recipes and spending hours in the garden together.
