Betty INGRAM Obituary

She was my kindergarten teacher in 1976 at Plateau School. She was kind but firm, and a wonderful teacher. I will never forget her.

So sad to find this. My heart go out to Derek. Lovely, Lovely Betty. Wonderful times in Te marua. Karolina and Susannas wonderful teacher and our friend. Lots of laughter and singing Love you Betty

So sad to hear of Betty's passing.
I have such happy memories of Betty,Derek, Sarah and Rachel.Times spent on the farm watching Derek water Skiing on the river, fireworks in the paddock.
Betty had alot of empathy for my younger brother Nigel at Kahutara school and he often spoke of her.
Loved her laugh. Betty will be sadly missed by all whose lives she touched.
Deepest Sympathies to all.

I was so sad to hear of Betty's passing. I have so many fond memories of Betty and Derek during their time at Plateau School. Betty examining me for my Brownie Book Lover badge(!), her smile that made you feel really special. I should also add that Derek and Betty's encouragement are one of the reasons I'm doing what I do now. Thank you to both of you. Sending so much love from the other side of the world.

To Derek, Sarah and Rachel and family, Our entire family love the Ingrams and we are so sad for you all to have lost Betty.
She was a rock in all our lives. I was inspired by both Betty and Derek to take a career in teaching. Derek's deep gravelly voice and Betty's exciting laugh enriched our lives at Kahutara . Vic and Janet both loved them so much too. I cannot say how sad we are. We send our deepest love to you all. I am also sad I cannot make the service on 22nd but I will be there in spirit .Please accept my apology .Love Robbie Bargh

I will always remember Betty.. She was the first teacher for each of my 3 children at Plateau school.. she was also the only teacher to give my youngest a smack on the bottom to stop her misbehaving each day when I left her at school.. from then on she was on her best behaviour.. You couldn't do it these days mores the pity.
Both Betty and Derek made our school a friendly welcoming place to be.
Even when they left the school they both made us welcome at their next venture, Tokaanu lodge, where we took the oldest kids away for their end of year trip.
She gave my kids a fantastic start to their school lives... I thank her very much for this... Betty the world will be a lesser place without you in it.

So sad to hear about Mrs Imgrams passing. She was such a bright personality and amazing teacher. Sympathies to the family.

Such a sad loss,The world will be a lesser place without Betty here,Condolences to Derek and the family.

Our deepest sympathy to the family. Betty along with the Loving Derek were the most loved couple teaching in Upper Hutt. The community of Te Marua have siblings that were taught by Betty in New Entrants and I know my children still talk about her to their siblings. My grandchildren have also learnt about this wonderful lady and her family. My love and condolences go out to the family. Love from all the Max Family of Maymorn.

Our condolences to Derek and family. We are so saddened to read this notice of our lovely Betty. We shared so much fun and laughter over the years during her life at Waitarere and involvement at Poroutawhao school. Rest well my friend.
Prue and Stuart
