On behalf of the Iona College Foundation I was sad to hear of Joan´s passing. She was a wonderful science teacher and Deputy Principal before going on to become Principal. She gave stability and made change with the introduction of the Intermediate department. As Principal of Iona her professional approach, steady kind voice which obtained respect and her warm smile will be remembered by many.
In sympathy to Joan´s family.
Kindest regards Sally Cranswick.

I am truly sadden to read that dear Mrs Murray has passed away. An adored and highly respected teacher during her many years at Iona College. I have missed you both walking past my gate and the chats we had in Havelock.
My sincere condolences to the family.

My deepest sadness and love to you all. Mrs Murray was a wonderful teacher, mentor and principal at Iona through my years of attendance. 1983-1986. In the later years it was lovely to see both Mike and Joan wandering the village. During this time filled with sadness, your hearts can be filled with the beautiful person so was. Not only was she a wonder midlife wife and mother to her immediate family she was also a mother so so many during her years of teaching.
With so much love
Pip Thompson.
This is on behalf of Annette Thompson also. Xxxx
