Setting standards, a caring nature and incredible generosity are all part of the legacy that Gwen Fairbrother leaves behind.
Gweneth Pauline Fairbrother died on Monday at the age of 97. She was the wife of the late Rodney and daughter of the late William and Catherine Hand.
She will be remembered by the thousands of Dannevirke High School students she taught and for the life lessons she delivered at the girls assemblies she conducted.
