Obituary

Ms Joy Bignell…very fondly remembered from our Mt Lawley College days back in the early 1980s. Her classes were always entertaining, varied and a delight to attend…as we always did, come rain, hail, shine, and even the dreaded winter sniffles! We still speak of her wonderful classes often! Her legacy will live on always. Rest in Peace, Ms Bignell. From Christine Hatzon and Angela Jackson (Young)
