Jean Buckle, who has died aged 98, was a lifelong educator, and began her career as a primary school teacher in the postwar years.
Her first job was at Hucknall primary school in Nottinghamshire, where she met her future husband, Ken Buckle. They were married on Valentine’s Day 1953 at Southwell register office, with her brother, James, and his wife as witnesses. It was typical of them that it was a low-key affair, arranged for the early morning so they could go to work afterwards.
