JO NOBLE R.I.P.

Jenni Keestra advises:

This is to let you know that Jo Noble passed away peacefully early last evening at Mercy Hospice. She will be missed enormously by her friends and family.

The funeral is likely to be on Monday and details will be published in Saturday’s New Zealand Herald. I am contacting as many of her friends as possible myself. Please pass this information on to anyone you feel would like to know as people sometimes miss notices in the paper.

Footnote:
Jo Noble was a tireless worker for many years in the interests of children's literature and literacy both as a magazine publisher and as a specialist children's bookseller. She leaves a huge gap and will be greatly missed.
