Caroline MAGUIRE Obituary

Caroline was so feisty I believed shed live forever. Loved her stories. Put me down for a copy if family compile a book.

Caroline was my most loyal Creative Writing student who attended classes for thirty years (and she was an excellent writer). She had a prodigious memory and a potent individual writing voice. I would love to be at the service today (but am currently in Brisbane). Over the years Caroline became one of my favourite collaborators - she was forthright, did not suffer fools gladly, had no inhibition about speaking her mind - and was at her best writing of her childhood (please protect her writings - which encapsulate a significant record of the social history of her time). I raise my glass to Caroline and feel comforted that she'll now be reunited with Max and her parents. What a character - when I think of her I always smile. [Grant Hindin Miller]

Deepest sympathy to Caroline´s family - the Senior family have been entwined with hers for nearly 50 years. Her hard exterior housed a warm, loving & loyal heart for those she cared about. Her love of family, animals, gardening, travel, tv shows were firm leaders in her life. She was academically one of the smartest people I´ve ever known and I hope her various poems & stories get published. Thinking of you all at this very sad time especially Min & my sons Matthew & Evan...very sad I am not there with you today to farewell a special lady xx

Deepest sympathies to all,and especially to Matty,jacinta and Riley,I know how much you loved her.xx

The members of the Avonside Girls High School Old Girls Association (the committee of which Caroline served for many years) send to her family sincere sympathy and thanks for her service.
