    Our hearts go out to you Kinks on the loss of June. Just as you were settling into your retirement at Mazvikadei.
    June gave most of her life to teaching . Many children have passed through her classroom and will have been blessed from her no nonsense but kind way.
    Zumbun and I send you and your girls much love. We cannot be with you on Tuesday but will attend online.

    June was a cherished friend and work colleague. She was Amy’s first teacher at L.C.P.S. and made her transition to learning interesting and fun.

    We were there to support June and her girls at one of the darkest periods of their lives. They lived next door to us on Rhodes Crescent, when Kinky was incarcerated.

    We took Linda to St Elmo’s for her sixteenth birthday, while June spent her day at the Dutch Reformed Church awaiting news of Kinky.

    We shall miss June so much. Kinky, Kim, Kylie, Donna, Linda and families you are in our thoughts and prayers.

    Much love Fiona and Geoff.

    I first met June when my kids, Zoë and Boetie (Phillip), went to LCPS in mid 2000s…
    We then became colleagues and friends when I started working at LCPS, first as Cook Matron, then Boys Hostel and Sick Bay Matron and Librarian in 2012…
    June asked me to accompany her for a weeks holiday in Cape Town in 2018… what a wonderful, fun, week we had… long conversations, shopping, sight seeing and lots of laughs…
    I last saw June in July 2023, when Simon, my Australian husband, and I went to visit her in her and Kinkys new home in Maz… we spent almost a whole day with them and June was soo so proud of her little home…
    June was a kind lady with a HUGE heart, such a very very dedicated teacher, ALWAYS a smile on her face, even when she was not well… she never complained…
    RIP my very special friend… I miss and love you so much…
    My condolences to Kinky, the girls and the family…
    💔😢🙏
    Love from Charmaine and Boetie

    I’ve known June for more than 50 years when our families joined in 1973, we were teenagers, she my big step sister. I can vividly remember those early years in the seventies when she was at the teachers training collage in Bulawayo, the many youth club events and all the teenage drama……., until cousin Kinks made his claim. What a great family came from that, so wonderful to be part of. When I spoke to my cousin Gavin last week, he immediately said that he remembered her as a such a good person, and my best school friend Jan was insistent that he want to attend today online, both haven’t seen June for many decades, such is the warmth that June left with all. We will miss her so much.
    Love to all from, Glenn, T Nicola T, Leo T, Anne S, Gillian T, Camilla T, Bianca T, Sam H.

    Mrs J.Taute
    I will miss you.Thank you very much for being an excellent trainer and teacher to me.When I started working with Mrs Taute in March 2012,I was still lacking in so many ways in terms of working with the infants.Mrs Taute was patient with me and every day am reminded of her from a cup of tea she loved so much and if you would ask her how many cups she wouĺd have takenshe would laugh and say”What does my surname start with?.When you answer then she would say you see.kkkk.To putting up charts,spelling writing,language,communication e.t.c
    May her soul rest in peace.I thank God I met her during her time on earth,she was a blessing to me and the community.Zororai murugare Amai.

    I am going to miss our laughs June. You mentored me in IT, Netball, day scholar duty, schemes of work, lesson planning.
    You taught me integrity and professionalism. You will forever have a special place in my heart.

    As you always said, I am part of the furniture at Lomagundi, you worked hard until you retired.

    The children who passed through your classes will always cherish the memories.

    Fly high June Moira.
