I've looked for Miss Pavely many times but her name has never appeared until my search today. I am going to tap tonight and was explaining how I became a lifelong dancer. It was the 70s when I peeked into the hall of Letham Bowling Club after hearing the piano. I saw the little ballerinas with Miss Pavely instructing them. After much persuasion my Mum allowed to me to go to. I walked up to Pumpherston Primary every week for ballet class. I idolised her. My heart broke the the day she sat a few of us down in her flat in Bellsquarry and told us she was leaving. I continued ballet for a while but the new teacher was not a patch on Miss Pavely. I returned again to ballet after a chance meeting with her pianist who pointed me to adult ballet. I have continued to love music and dance into my 50s. I am so pleased to see that she had 40 years of happy marriage and touched as many others as she touched me. So sad that was her passing has led me to find her after all these years. RIP xxx
