Catherine PURDIE Obituary

Brian, I was sad to hear of Cath's passing and extend my deepest sympathy. Such an amazing person, you will miss her dreadfully.

Remembering you Cathy always

Very sad to hear today of Cath's passing. I was privileged to spend many hours with Cath over many years at Oroua Downs School as she taught all our three daughters ( van Spijk). I remember her introducing our youngest to Kiwi marching and having them march at local marching days. Our girls were so fortunate to have had such a wonderful teacher.
Condolences to the family.
