Brigid CONAGLEN Obituary

I have , over one year later, only just heard that Brigid has passed. I was so devastated to hear the news. I met Brigid when she taught at Berhampore School and soon learnt how deeply she felt about education, how wonderful she was with the kids, and how beautifully her smile and kindness could light up a room. My deepest condolences to those left behind.... It sure seems like she went way too soon and that we've lost out. The last time I saw her was at a big party she had at Buckley Road. The house was filled with people who loved her and the night was magical. May she be with me the next time I party. Sincerest condolences. I'm gonna miss knowing you are around so, so much. Ange

My sincerest condolences to Mandy and all of Brigids family.
I went to boarding school with Brigid and Mandy and although I haven't kept up over the years it's not hard to conjure up a picture of Brigid. Always laughing with her wicked sense of humour.
A legend on the hockey field!!
I am sure she will be sorely missed.

To the family of Brigid Conaglen, I wish to pass on my condolences , I went to secondary school at Sacred Heart with Bridget, and we played hockey together with her she was a fine sports person and good scholar, plus a great friend to me at boarding school, my only regret is that we lost touch over the years, rest in peace my friend Katherine Britten-Wood.

Dear Conaglen family, my son and I were very sad to hear of Brigids passing. We recently worked out we had been neighbours for over 16 years. I have enjoyed convivial catch-ups and have fond memories. Our thoughts are with you at this time. Jill Stewart and Tom

Brigid and I used to meet at gatherings and hidey-hole away into a corner and talk about education. She was dedicated to her job and to her beliefs in the learning process and the best way to teach. I loved her.

Dear family, I have just learned the tragic news and am devastated. Brigid was a fine and cherished person and a friend to me. I held her in high regard. We shared many hugs and smiles. I will miss her desperately. Carol Bean

My thoughts are with you all on the sad loss of Brigid, I have such fun and fond memories of our time as boarders at SHGC, of the many laughs and tricks we got up to. Also her awesome hockey ability and our many great games together on the hockey field. Our love to Mandy and your family during this sad time. Sandra(nee Jeffries) and Steve McManaway xx

Sincere sympathy to the Conaglan family, and to all who loved Bridgid. It's many years since we attended SHGC together, just 11 of us third form boarders who went through as a cohort and as a family through all the fun and dramas of boarding school life. Fond memories of high jinx and laughs with Brigid and Mandy. Thinking of you all at this sad time.

Really saddened to hear this news I remember Brigid as a committed and determined person and as an inspiring example on the hockey field in my early days at Massey University. Was delighted to catch up with her later in life in and educational context. Arohanui to family and friends.

Dear Brigid....to my dearest and respected colleague, CoPrincipal and friend. You have led by example, true to your values and beliefs. Clifton Tce Model School has been blessed with your wisdom, your generous spirit, your love of learning and commitment to the wellbeing of your students and community.
Haere, haere,haere

Sincere sorrow to Bridget's whanau in the loss of your loved one.
I haven't seen Bridget over the last few years, but she was a well respected and important part of the NZEI Wellington Area Council for a long period of time that fought for fair terms & conditions for all in education. She stood for fairness & equality for all.

I have fond memories of all of our long battles to see these values come to fruition. Bridget we will continue to fight the good fight.

Arohanui - continue too fly.

Oh, darling Bridgid, so suddenly taken. So very sad, thinking with love of your family and friends. Farewell.

In loving memory of Bridgid, We mourn your passing and we fondly remember your vibrant smile, welcoming nature and the wonderful way you contributed to teaching and growing our children. We have lost a friend, but feel richer in the life we have left on this earth to have known you. See you in heaven friend.

Please accept our deepest sympathy in the loss of a much loved Teacher and Co-Principal. Brigid will be missed by many.
Our thoughts and prayers are with her school community and also her family.
