“To family of "Stobee", my sincere condolences in the loss of a great Lady. I met Stobee in 1960, I had turned five and off to Fleming Hall (residential) she was our Supervisor, she was there that school year. The next year she was off to Stringer Hall in Inuvik n then Akaitcho Hall in Yellowknife, I again met up with Stobee at Akaitcho I was 15. Mrs Stobee told us when she was moving North her Dad told her "look after those children well, they are taken from their parents." . . . RIP”

“It was never on my radar as a teenager that Mrs. Stobee had a family. We were too busy trying to find our way in unusual times. She was strict, and yet kind. She took her responsibility seriously. It was no easy task, 260+ girls a semester. There were always whispers but never verified. It was only when I determinately decided to phone every Stobee in the country I found her. She was the first number I dialled. She giggled. I was touched by her stories of rescue and heartbreak. I was humbled”
