Ngaire CRAVEN Obituary

I visited Ngaire in her classroom at College Street and was struck by the way she quietly maintained the attention of the children. And, of course, there was the hockey and Scott's Mum when I was teaching at Russell Street. I was always appreciative of her generous spirit, always seeing the best. I trust Gisborne and Hawera are treating the Cravens well.

Mrs Craven was without doubt the most influential teacher I had a college at normal. I have thought about her often in the 41 years since she taught me.

Remembering Ngaire for her dedicated service as a Trustee and strong supporter of Te Aroha Noa Community Services Trust that was based in Highbury , Palmerston North and established by Central Baptist Church. She was also an inspiring teacher of one of my sons. Moe mai ra Ngaire. Bruce Maden.

My favourite teacher and hockey coach at College Street School many years ago. Rest in love Mrs Craven. x

Forever in my heart gran !
You are my person x

Such a gentle soul and a lovely Christian.i was so pleased to know her. Blessings to Derek and family on this sad occasion.

Ngaire was a valued member of the square dance club in Palmerston North for many years. We will remember her for the friendship and the lovely, friendly lady she was.

Condolences Derek
