Message of Condolence

With deep sorrow, we share the news of the passing of Ms Michelle Crinnion.

Michelle passed away peacefully on Thursday 24 July, surrounded by her loving family, following a brief and unexpected illness.

Michelle was a cherished member of the Nazareth Catholic Parish Primary School community since its foundation in 2000. In her role as School Support Officer and Librarian, she served with exceptional dedication, warmth, and quiet strength. Her care and commitment have left an enduring legacy in the lives of countless students, families, and colleagues.

We give thanks for Michelle’s life and the many ways she contributed to the life of the school with grace, generosity, and kindness. Her presence will be deeply missed across the community.

Eternal rest grant unto her, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon her. May she rest in peace. Amen.
