Obituary published in The Chain Magazine 2022

1943 - 2022

Written by Jocelyn's daughter, Fiona

Joycelyn originally joined St Swithun’s Junior School in the early 1980s, returning from a short break from teaching when she’d had her two children, Jonathan and Fiona.

Initially she worked as a classroom assistant before teaching KGII and Transition classes up until her retirement in 1995.

She was known for being firm but fair and for her eye-catching classroom displays.

Joycelyn particularly enjoyed preparing and putting on performances and productions with the children, ensuring that everyone had their moment to shine.

She was still in regular contact with a great many of her teaching colleagues from her St Swithun’s days and will be greatly missed by all who knew her.
