Pat Ward Funeral 25th January 2022 Funeral - 11.00am at Bramcote Crematorium Wake -- 12.30pm at Dovecote Restaurant, Morley Hayes

With immense sadness and heavy hearts, we have to share with you the sad loss of our dear friend and colleague Mrs Pat Ward, who died peacefully at home on Christmas Eve, following a short illness.
We are still coming to terms with this ourselves, but we know what an incredible teacher and iconic figure she was to the pupils, parents and community at Ockbrook School.
Pat loved Ockbrook School. She loved all of the pupils in her care and made a huge impact to their education and confidence, shaping the path to their future lives. We will miss her infectious sense of fun, immaculate presentation and ability to know just what each child, parent and colleague needed to help them, at any given moment. She carried out her role with the utmost fairness and immense kindness, which combined to make her a perfect teacher. We were also incredibly lucky to know her, as a cherished friend.
We are respecting her family's wish to come to terms with their tragic loss in peace. In time, we hope that any messages of condolence and memories of Mrs Ward shared will bring them some comfort.

Ockbrook Schools last day, these words say it all ❤️
