I worked with Evangeline for a number of years at West End School, she also taught all 3 of my children. Two of which have become teachers. They all found Mrs Khan to be an inspirational, innovative and caring teacher. In later years she always asked them and what they were up to in their careers and in life. I shared photos with her earlier this year of the next generation of my family and she was just so interested. Evangeline was such a proud grandmother herself and she would have been especially proud of her grandchildren that spoke so beautifully at her service . You will leave behind a big hole in your family Evangeline but boy you have left an amazing legacy.

Dear Evang Memories of our time working together will remain forever. Your support, wit and empathy will be remembered and spoken of with fondness for years to come. You touched the lives of your students (those lucky enough to be taught by you) and teachers who worked alongside you. I will miss sharing our grandchildren's successes and connection with the things we had in common...namely our husband's names. Always there as a listening ear, guidance when problems shared, and knowledge imparted on anything educational...I thank you! Rest easy now, remembering with fondness. Audrey (colleague, West End School)

Evangeline, I don’t know if I ever told you how special you were to me and how I cherish our years of working together and the friendship that grew. You always came across as this innocent lady but we knew better, oh the mischief we got up to. I loved the years we taught together in the Open Plan and sharing an office. I’m not sure you liked the office part as you never did succeed in making me tidy, no matter how many times you cleared my desk onto the floor. I listened to the tributes from your family and I remember how proud you were of them all and how you cherished visits, especially the grandchildren in the holidays. I will always remember you with a smile and think of your kindness, your generosity, your great intelligence and of course your wicked sense of humour. Go well dear friend, Robert will be waiting and know you have left the world a better place for you being in it.

Dear Robert Uncle,I am very sorry for the loss of your mother. She was a truly remarkable woman. My deepest condolences for your loss. I understand how much you will miss your mother as she was an extraordinary woman. I can't imagine how you feel, It is good to validate your loved one's grief by letting them know their pain is real and I know how much. meant to you. I'm sorry for your loss. i can't imagine your pain, and the grief you are going through and once again i very sorry for your loss. Shreya (Ajeshni’s little one)

Oh auntie Benji, it was a great shock to receive news of your passing. I recall with fondness our phone chats, your quick-wit dry humor & laughter & everlasting patience tutoring me in maths! isa lei an angel has returned home. RIP Much Aroha xoxo Georgie

It is with a heavy heart that I write this tribute to my dear friend, Evangeline, who has passed away. Her presence in our lives was a true blessing, as she was a beacon of kindness, support, and generosity. From the moment we met, Evangeline radiated warmth and compassion. Her kindness knew no bounds, always offering a comforting word or a gentle smile. In times of joy and sorrow, she was a constant source of comfort and strength. Generosity was at the core of Evangeline's being. She gave selflessly, whether it was her time, resources, or a listening ear. She always put others' needs before her own, teaching us the true meaning of giving and the profound impact it can have on those around us. As we remember Evangeline, let us carry forward her legacy of kindness, support, and generosity. We are better for having known her. Rest in peace, dear friend. You will be deeply missed, but your love and kindness will remain with me always. With love, Jessie, your forever friend.
