Susan Hemming

OLCS Staff 17 October 1932 - 16 September 2021

For those of you who had the pleasure and privilege of being taught by Sue Hemming, Thursday 16 September 2021 will be seen as a very sad day.

Sue died peacefully at home with her loved ones round her. Although increasingly frail, a dignified exit came as a conclusion to a long life well lived. Much loved by friends, colleagues and students alike Sue was a woman of significant intellect, tempered by a sensitivity and compassion both to works of literature and people.

Sue's innate sense of style and timing showed through in her approach to teaching and literature. Former students will remember her ability to bring out the very best in everyone, irrespective of their individual capabilities. She created an atmosphere where everyone felt able to contribute an opinion, safe in the knowledge that it would be given due consideration and value.

A wicked and witty sense of humour at times, she brought a positive and individual energy to the English Department. Her legacy will live on in the many students she inspired.
