Garaina thanked for a‘strong’ Lady Hannah

By EREBIRI ZURENUOC
Morobe Governor Ginson Saonu has thanked the people of Garaina in Bulolo for giving a strong woman who supported her husband until her death.
He was paying tribute to Lady Hannah Dadae, wife of Governor-General Sir Bob Dadae, during her funeral service at St Paul’s Lutheran Church in Lae yesterday.
Lady Hannah died on Dec 4 from primary liver cancer at a hospital in Brisbane, Australia.
She was 53 years and from Mukeri village in Bia-Waria, Garaina.
Saonu urged the people of Morobe to pray for Sir Bob, who would continue with his work as the governor-general, without Lady Hannah.
“Sir Bob is the first Morobean to be the governor-general of PNG. “He not only represents Morobe, but PNG as a whole.
“He has been supported by his wife all throughout his work.
Former acting provincial administrator of Morobe and fellow Garaina woman, Sheila Harou, said Lady Hannah was a special woman who had represented well the Guhu-Samane tribe of Waria Valley throughout her life.
“We followed our elder siblings, who have set a pathway for us,” she said.
“We made our tribal people proud of us,” Harou said. Lady Hannah came from a family of five teachers, (including her father) who in total, had contributed more than 100 years of primary and university teaching to Morobe and PNG. She was the third born in her family.
