Anne GRIMMER Obituary

R.I.P

Dear Anne, you were an inspirational colleague and a generous friend. I treasure the time we spent working together and value your insight and your zest for life. My thoughts are with you and your dear family at this time. Bless you and rest easy now. Love Nicky

You were an amazing inspirational person, Thank you for being a wonderful boss and friend. Will miss our lunches and coffee's together amd will always remember your positive attitude and your beautiful smile xox

When I first started at WHS, I noticed that Anne was one of the staff who would always contribute to discussions. As time went on, I learned that her contributions were always worth listening to.

And, dear Anne, who will recommend Nordic thrillers to me now?

She is remembered by her colleagues in Wellington as a passionate, strong, kind and extremely knowledgeable teacher, friend, mother and wife.

A reminder to enjoy the absolute preciousness of life itself today.

Our thoughts are with her family at this time.

On behalf of past and present students of Wellington High School, we offer our condolences to the family of Mrs Grimmer. Those of us who had the privilege of knowing her will forever treasure the excellent guidance she gave and her friendly nature.

What a huge gap she is leaving in my life. Anne you have been a such a strong professional mentor for me, and an amazingly caring and consistent presence in my life. Arohanui e hoa.

Just saying Hi
Hi Anne

A staff email has just been sent that we all have to meet in the staffroom at interval, I'm kind of thinking I don't want to go in so I thought I'd email to say hi. So Hi! My learning conversations went well on Tuesday, I had 16 appointments and 14 turned up BUT I managed to get one done in Roopu yesterday and I'm planning on doing the last one on Friday at Roopu time. You would be so proud of me Anne, you taught me so well and helped me heaps. Wish you were back here with us and doing what you do best and that is Caring about our students especially our maori students, you had so much time for them. Any way Anne I'll be seeing you in the future sometime.

love and miss you

Anne was a fierce advocate for kids- her work with individuals and groups generated a sense of hope and purpose. She was a transformational force in lots of young lives.

What an important role you played and with such kindness and enthusiasm. I remember my visit to you and the help and guidance you gave me. Thank you Anne, with love.

Anne will be sorely missed by the studnets and staff at Wellington High School. She worked tirelessly for the students who needed the most help and many owe passing Level 2 or 3 to the effort she put into them. Anne was a wonderful colleague who supported other staff and made many friends. I will miss her friendship, her advice and support. Kia Kaha e hoa. Henry.
