REMEMBERING KORALEY / 07
REMEMBERING KORALEY The passing of our dear friend and colleague, Koraley Northen has promoted a huge response from those who knew and worked with her over the years. In all honesty, we struggled with how best to remember her within these pages; so here are some words from her close friends, pictures she captured of them and even some of Koraley herself. Thanks everyone for sharing your kind words. And apologies; I have removed several exclamation marks:
Koraley couldn't stand them.
“My first impression of Koraley was terrifying. I never thought I could live up to her exacting standards. I soon realised she was my biggest supporter, she remained supportive to the very end. I am delighted to call her my friend, I miss her dearly.” Annette MCCoy, Former GLDA administrator and close friend “
Having known Koraley for over twenty years there are not enough words to describe her, but to me, she was always, kind, fearless, formidable, flirty, ageless and always a girl. Xx she will be missed.'' Carol Marks, Bord Bia
