A former Kellett parent and member of staff, Anne was school secretary at the Kellett Pok Fu Lam campus from 2000 - 2003. Her friend and former collegaue, Susie Merritt, has shared her memories of working with Anne: 

'Everyone at Kellett will remember Anne as the other half of my job share on the Reception desk at the Pokfulam campus for 2-3 years.
To say she was colourful is an understatement! You never knew what colour she’d have in her hair or what colour glasses she’d be wearing that day!
As a colleague who worked with us both said “she was a nutcase with a heart of gold” and knowing Anne, she would thoroughly agree with that ! 
With immense friendliness, Anne would do anything for anyone and I can still see her smile and hear her signature laugh.
Anne threw herself into everything with great enthusiasm and loved chatting to absolutely everyone, the parents, children, teaching staff and support staff. She was also an involved Kellett parent to Imogen.
Anne was passionate about her role as Brown Owl in the Kellett Brownie pack “Crafty” was her middle name with so many craft projects for her brownie pack.'

If you would like to send in a message, a photo or a video, please leave a comment (log in required), alternatively email to alumni@kellettschool.com. They will be shared Anne's family in due course.
