Very saddened to learn of Mrs Hodges passing. Paula taught two of our daughters at Ohoka School as new entrants/year 1 and went above & beyond for each of them, giving them a wonderful start to their schooling years, for which we are forever grateful.
I believe this photo may have been taken when Paula retired from full time teaching at Ohoka?

We met Paula at an Alpha course in our parish and then continued meeting in a home group. She always sparkled. She was authentic, open, humorous , prayerful, positive and down to earth. We will miss her. Our condolences to Jim and family.
