Love and condolences to Miss Becket’s family. She taught me English Literature in the late 80s. Miss Becket loved dialogue in novels! I preferred imagery. She was persuasive in her argument, though. Miss Becket was up there with the best teachers I ever had - so generous with her passion for literature. An unforgettable woman. Rest in Peace.

Condolences to Miss Beckett’s family. She taught me English in the mid-80s at St Dominic’s and we all loved her. Her passion for English literature inspired my love of reading and literature. I can still picture her in class, wearing her gown and encouraging our love of language, words and poetry. Rest in peace x Dervla McConn

Sympathy to the whole family circle. Anna Beckett taught me A Level English in the mid 60’s at St Dominic’s and she was a wonderful and much loved teacher. She inspired me to take a degree in English Literature and gave me a love of poetry which has never left me. She was a good friend to my Godmother, May O’Friel, and my mother, Eileen Carragher, both of whom were also teachers at St Dominic’s. May she rest in peace.
