Condolences to all the family.
So sorry to hear of Elaine's passing. She was a friend and a mentor. I was a colleague staff member at Te Aroha College in the 90s and she had a wonderful way with staff and students. Kelly also did Graham's and Elaine's accounts for years. We enjoyed our times with her when we called in to see her in Matamata. we would also catch up at the TeAroha ladies RSA meetings. She enjoyed a great chat and always wanted to know what we were doing. We are so pleased we called and saw her on the 1st of Jan. Rest in Peace Elaine.

My condolences to all the family. I had the pleasure of meeting Elaine when I was a trainee teacher at Te Aroha College in the mid 70s. She was a great mentor and an inspiration to many. We kept in touch for awhile but not so much lately. Her hard work and dedication to the teaching profession has spread over many years .

Elaine was a much loved and much admired colleague of mine. She coached staff in ways that built confidence and skills. I often visited her in whitianga. A much loved and admired friend.

So very sorry to have this news, Elaine was a dear friend of mine along with her husband Graham, who was one of the drummers in our band. She was lively and great fun a thoroughly nice woman who did a great deal of good within our community...she will be missed, it was a pleasure to have known her.

Great times at Te Aroha College. Thinking of you all. Shilton family

RIP Elaine. A much respected and loved friend. Sympathy to both families.

A lovely lady who would do anything for anyone. So sorry to hear of Elaine´s passing. Condolences to all the family.

Sorry to hear this sad news. Mrs Hills was a great support to me at Te Aroha College. If I remember correctly, she retired and I left at the same time. She was a wonderful lady.

Te Aroha College was my first school. Elaine was always there with a word of advice or encouragement. A real friend and mentor.

Dear Hills Family,So sorry to see her passing,many fond memories of her at Waihou,Te Aroha College and later we enjoyed her company on a trip to Wellington.
Kind Regards
