It’s hard to find the right words to express what this wonderful lady meant to me. She first entered my life when I was just 7 years old, sitting in her classroom at primary school. Strict, yes—but always with kindness, and a dedication to helping us become the best we could be.
Her impeccable style, her grace, and her quiet strength were always present, but it was her heart and her wisdom that truly stood out. The lessons she imparted to me went far beyond the classroom, and I carry them with me to this day.
One of the greatest gifts was the opportunity to bump into her every now and then, even as an adult. Each time, she would ask about my life, my family, and I was so happy that she had the chance to meet my children.
Thank you for everything you did for me Mrs Dipple, and for so many others. You will always be remembered, and you will always be missed. Rest in peace.
