Sr Rita Itebete has rested.
She was part of Mukumu Girls High School from 1978 to 2002 (or thereabout) - 24 solid years - as a teacher and the an indomitable Principal.
A whatsapp group was formed by alumnae and the first one quickly became full (1025 pax) and a second one was started.
I have immensely enjoyed the memories being posted by girls in the wall - from those who knew her in the 70s to the recent ones in the early 2000s. Imagine that...all of them testify of the positive impact she had in their lives especially around taking pride of who they are! wow....LEGEND!
I was in the primary section for 3 (short or long) years from 1986 to 1988 and when i heard of the news, i wondered why i remembered her and I even thought she was in the primary school section - turns out I was reliably informed that she was like in charge of the Mukumu complex - so included the primary school...so thats how I knew of her
Rest well Sr Rita

You have fought the good fight
You have finished the race
You have kept the faith

Eternal rest grant to Sr Rita Oh Lord
and May Perpetual Light shine upon her
May she rest in eternal peace, Amen.
Indeed, legends never die
