Rosie Friend expressed heartfelt grief stating, "RIP Miss Devonish, you were so loved by so many people and looked out and supported so many of us going out of your way to make sure that everyone was supported and put smiles on everyone's faces." This reflects the profound impact she had on her students.
Niki Hodson-Aubrey commemorated Gemma by saying, "How lucky were we to know this incredible woman and how lucky were her students to experience her radiance and phenomenal teaching. A true beauty, taken selfishly in her prime by someone who just couldn't handle her light." This illustrates the deep affection and admiration she evoked.
A statement from Rosebery School’s website noted, "The entire Rosebery community is devastated by the sudden and unexpected death of Miss Gemma Devonish. Our thoughts are with Gemma's mother and sister, extended family and friends, at this deeply distressing time."
Flowers were laid beside a memorial bench inscribed with #SayHerName, created to raise awareness of violence against women, emphasizing the tragic loss of a dedicated educator like Ms. Devonish.
