Penryn Preparatory loses beloved teacher
With great sadness, Penryn Preparatory paid tribute to its beloved teacher, Cynthia Jermyn.
She was appointed in 1999 as a senior primary teacher and served the school faithfully for over 20 years. She had been ill for a number of years and sadly passed away on Friday June 25.
Many generations have benefited from her love, care and professional expertise.
Roger Cameron, the executive head of Penryn College, conveyed Penryn’s condolences to the family by saying, “Cynthia has given a lifetime of service to education, and all of us at Penryn are grateful for her contribution. There is a deep sense of shock and loss, especially for those colleagues who have worked alongside her for so many years.
“Her memorial will serve as recognition of her contribution to Penryn and loyalty to many generations of children who have passed through her hands.
“May she rest in peace and rise in glory.” Jermyn is survived by her husband, Pat, and her two children, Ryno and Jamie.
A memorial service is being organised by Rev Terry Booysen in the Penryn chapel in accordance with Covid-19 regulations.
More details on the service to follow.
