Rae was always a friendly and bright spirit in the department. Always greeted me with a friendly, reassuring smile. I cherish our many brief interactions. She clearly cared a lot about students and encouraging young people develop an interest in STEM. I managed to persuade her to appear in the staff spotlight for our staff newsletter. She was reluctant and self-effacing, but I'm glad she did it. I hope she realised how much love, care and support there was for her from her colleagues and beyond. May she be in eternal peace and may her family and loved ones always have warm memories of her.
