It’s been almost 10 years ago since a 7-year-old Dauphin girl was killed in a pedestrian accident.
A memorial for Teah Ironstand was held today at noon at Whitmore School.
Yvonne Lillie, Teah’s former Grade 1 teacher, tells us what kind of girl she was.
“Teah was always an adventuresome little child. I remember her being quite artistic and like to draw things and was a very talkative little girl in many ways and was always pretty happy about things in life. She really liked school and enjoyed having friends and doing things with other children. Those are the things I always remember about her.”
Lillie will never forget the impact Teah’s death had.
“The year I taught her grade 1, I actually had a grade 1 and 2 class and her brother was in the grade 2 class; so I had both the brother and sister together. It certainly stays in my mind very much as to how it happened and how it affected all the kids that were in that class and the school as a whole. So I think this was a very thoughtful idea to do for her memory.”
The memorial bench and plaque in honour of Teah was revealed in the playground along with a BBQ and Pow Wow.
