ABDULLAH,
Norhayati Carole Vanessa:
16.06.64 - 29.10.22 (58 years)
The light of our lives has left this Dunia
and awaits Yawm al-Din. Inna
Lillahi wa Inna Illaihi Raja'un

Treasured garment of Osama Abdul Razek.
Cherished mother of Adam Jaidin, Ahmad, Amin and Amirah Osama.

Affectionate sister of Deborah Hedley-Joyce, Dean Hedley, David Hedley, Tracey Matthews, Kerry Edmondson, Francesca Dowman, Jeremy Hedley, Rachel Dowman (deceased), Rebecca Ngapo and Abby Dowman.
Norhayati (Ms Abdullah) loved to teach, whether it was acids and bases, algebra, alliteration, ancient Egypt or one of her many life lessons.
It was important for her to hope that any recipient of her lessons would pass on her shared knowledge.
Norhayati exhorts those she knew and loved to PURSUE IMPACT.
So in memory of her, plant something beneficial to bees and butterflies or donate to children caught up in conflict.

May Allah Subhana wa T'Allah Bless Her Soul and Grant Her Jannah. Assalamu Alaikum!

Norhayati was a good neighbour when i used to live in Clawton street. I would always retrieve the ball when it used to go out onto the road and that was when i met Norhayati and the family. A beautiful princess taken away so early. Condolences to the family as well. Rest in peace Norhayati.

Stunned to read Norhayati has died. She was an amazing colleague, supportive and kind and genuinely a good person. I can only offer condolences to her family, which seem inadequate - she was truly a lovely, lovely person.

Condolences on the loss of your beautiful wife, Mum, Oma, and friend. Hayati was an inspiration to me, and we enjoyed many conversations over the years. She was always interested in my children and what they were up to, and had a great memory too. From Montessori days til now, Hayati was kind, inclusive and a role model to us all. Rest In Peace xx

Hayati had a passion for teaching. She was one of the most prepared teachers I know. No student was left behind in Hayati's class. Student's were cared about to strive for more than they thought they were capable. Detail for Hayati was part of her nature. Her contribution to Young Enterprise at Hawera High School was valued and allowed students to be themselves and develop to their strengths. I often think back to our conversations about achievement and fondly remember her beautifully displayed classrooms always welcoming to students. Hayati's learning of Te Reo and her fluency was beautiful.

My love and condolences to the family. I will never forget the impact Ms Abdullah had on me as a student at Hawera High School only a handful of years ago. From sticking around to help with science display boards after school, to the interesting conversations that we had, as well as imploring to always give things a go. Rest in Peace and Love

I first met Hayati through my work. A year or two later her eldest son Adam became a friend of my eldest son, Robbie and a few years later Amin and my youngest son Brad became friends. Hayati was a lovely woman and whenever we met she was always interested in what my sons were up to. Her family was everything to her, she was so proud of them all. Our thoughts are with you all.

You impacted my life as a teacher, but also as the kind soul who made a difference. You gave us beautiful memories and life lessons that no one else could. You gave us the ability to see out side the square and look at the world through different eyes, most importantly you gave us kindness, love and your time, Thank you Ms Abdullah. Condolences to your beautiful family, may your memories and love carry you through these times.

To Hayati Family. My sincere condolences to you all. I first met Hayati when our children were swimming at carnivals and Tarananaki swimming champs and when she joined the staff at Hawera High School and then caught up with Admad when he joined the staff at Hawera High School. Thinking of you all.
