Scotch Community Vale: Anna Casey 1962 – 2015 How do you say goodbye to someone who has been taken much too soon? It is not often that we travel through life having the privilege of saying that we have met someone so truly uninhabited, full of spirit and so utterly and unequivocally remarkable. Anna was a people’s person; she loved a chat and a laugh, had a wicked sense of humour and always made time to catch up with everyone. She was generous of spirit and cared genuinely about the people in her life, often being a loving shoulder of support. Anna had worked at Scotch College for 25 years and, during that time, she touched the lives of students, parents and colleagues in both the Junior and Middle Schools. She was a dedicated 22 and thoughtful teacher who had such a beautiful balance of tough love, respect, humour and friendship with her students, striving to extract from them their very best. Always genuinely delighted to see others succeed, Anna was a team player, who consistently embraced working with her colleagues, offering ideas and contributions, to ensure that an exciting and relevant program was offered. Every day, Anna brightened the Junior School with her glamour – her pink lippy, bright colours, designer sunglasses, swirly capes, flowing scarves, a little bit of leopard print and bling! She appreciated fashion and often complemented others on their stylish outfits and accessories. Those who knew Anna well marvelled at her bravery and optimism, particularly when faced with significant health challenges. She always soldiered on when times were tough, going about her battles with grace and quiet determination. Anna epitomised selflessness and always took an interest in the lives of those around her. Scotch parents remember how Anna understood and respected their children, creating in them a love of education. This will live on for a lifetime.
As the proud mother of Stephanie, Anna’s face would light up as she shared stories about her beloved daughter. Her passion for Stephanie was so apparent. Stephanie has developed into a well adjusted, strong and delightful young woman because of Anna’s incredible and unconditional love and support. Anna was an inspiration and knowing her was an absolute pleasure. The past few weeks have shed light on just how golden her touch was and just how special she was to so many people. She will be greatly missed by everyone in the Scotch community. Gill Haarsma & Lucy Dabrowski She was a great girl, a wonderful friend. 23
