Zarlene BELL Obituary

Darling Zarlene, I feel so sad. The tears are flowing. You were truely unique. The many lives you helped to mould and your gift of music are your legacy that will live on in others. My deepest sympathies go out to your loved ones. I know how much you loved your family and how proud you were of your grandchildren. For me personally, you were the inspiration to be the best teacher I could, and I owe all that I learned to you. Arohanui my friend xox

So sad to hear this news Mrs Bell. I was one of the lucky children that you taught at South Hornby Primary back in the late 1980's. Such a great teacher and loved the music. Sad to hear your gone but you will be remembered!

Mrs Bell was my 1st school teacher and because of her my parents got me into tap dancing. Im very saddened by this news. Caught up with her at the local couplands still the loving kind woman I remembered. Thinking of all the family at this sad time xo Would love to pay my respects but see its a private farwell. Take Care .

You were such an amazing teacher. You helped me with my confidence with singing and representative choir. You'll always have a place in my heart. RIP xoxoxo

A great teacher who was loved by the children she taught. She taught my children at South Hornby School in class and in the choir. A no nonsense loving teacher. RIP Zarlene

An truly inspirational teacher. I had the privilege to work with Zarlene at South Hornby School. She was a mentor and role model to many young teachers (like myself) who were starting their teaching career. We learnt so much from Zarlene. She touched many lives and will be fondly remembered by the staff who worked alongside her and the many students and families that she taught. Rest peacefully Zarlene.
