Catherine BEAN Obituary

I was so shocked and deeply saddened to hear of Catherine´s passing. She was my son Will´s teacher in 2010, and I couldn´t have wished for a better person or educator. Her kindness, patience, and genuine care for every child-and their parents-was truly remarkable. I will always be grateful for the impact she had on Will and on our family. Catherine, you were taken far too soon, and you will be greatly missed.

Haere atu ra e te rangatira wahine, moe mai ra i te rangimarie.
(Go well, esteemed woman, rest now in peace.)

I am deeply saddened by the loss of my dear friend, Catherine Stichbury Bean. She was such a beautiful person - kind, patient, creative, and full of warmth. Catherine touched so many lives with her kind spirit and unwavering positivity.

She made a lasting impact on me personally and professionally. Her guidance, encouragement, and friendship will forever be with me. It´s hard to find the right words to express how much she meant to me and to all who had the privilege of knowing her.

Catherine, you will be so sadly missed. Your light will continue to shine through the memories, lessons, and love you´ve left behind. Rest in peace, my friend.

Dearest Graeme and family,
Sending our love at this very sad time.
Always fun rivalry between Catherine and Andrew at YODAT at Mt Albert on a Wednesday
A very special lady.
Kindest regards,
