Book of condolences - Liza Pybus

It is a great shock to hear that Liza is no more. I was just about to contact her for reference purposes because she was my great mentor when I was doing my MSc in Management and International Business 2011 cohort. So sad to hear of her demise.

Posted by Samuel Odunlami, 05 Dec 2024

Among all the tutors and lecturers I had during my masters program at NTU, Liza stood out. She was an embodiment of kindness and warmth. She was so approachable and always ready to listen and help. May your kind and beautiful soul rest in peace Liza.

I was lucky enough to have worked with Liza when she ran the MSc consultancy projects and I was one of the supervisors. We had a few meaningful conversations in the Link Lounge while we were waiting to meet our respective students. She was a pleasure to work with and was such a wonderful soul. I am glad to be able to call her my friend. Liza, you made a difference in so many lives.

Liza had been a really great role model when I started my MSc back in 2011.

She always had a smile on her face and never judged you .

Liza made some really good changes whilst I was studying at NTU.

Liza was an amazing person on a personal and professional level.

Posted by Ashika Parmar, 13 Oct 2023

It saddens me to hear Liza’s passing. I forever miss her giggles in one of our last conversations at NTU. I am forever grateful for Liza who was my great mentor and respected course leader. Rest in peace, Liza.

I miss you.

Liza was my academic mentor during my Masters degree.
She played a tremendous role in the personal and professional development of myself and my classmates this past academic year, and really embodied what the ideal teacher should be which is guiding students by instilling knowledge and ethics.

Liza was also integral in ensuring the masters students could have a memorable experience during the course through organizing various field trips, social events and team building events which helped in bringing the students together.

Her enthusiasm and kindness really stood out, and all of us who studied at the Nottingham Business School will really cherish the positive memories.

May she Rest in Peace.

Heartbreaking news to hear, my thoughts go out to all of your family and loved ones as you will be a huge miss to all.

I will forever be thankful for the support you gave me throughout my time at NBS and for helping me through my Masters during an incredibly difficult period in life.

Rest in peace x

Liza was an inaugural Editorial Board member of the International Journal of Management Education, a position she held for 22 years. As Editor I often asked Liza for her help and guidance and she was always too willing and able to assist. Liza was a good academic citizen, giving her time and expertise whenever requested. I remain grateful for her advice and inputs and I am deeply saddened to hear of her loss. Liza will be greatly missed by many in the academic community.

Posted by Neil Marriott, 07 Oct 2023

It was very sad to hear about your demise, Liza. You where approachable and considerate. I recalled our CMI leadership trip to London and the push you gave me in the area of business research that I chose. You showed genuine concern about being exceptional and outstanding. Our interaction was educative and purposeful.

Thank you for being a good teacher. You lived a fulfilled and gracious life. You'll be greatly missed. I sincerely hope that you are in place of true rest.

I celebrate you now and always.

Adieu

Liza was my dear colleague and friend. I have wonderful memories working alongside you in the early days of Chaucer and later on the Management Programmes.

A lovely, caring and dedicated teacher “one of the best “ Liza symbolised the very essence of NTU and has left us far too soon.
I valued your friendship and the happy times we enjoyed over many years.
I will miss you and remember you always- Sx

In losing Liza the world has lost a diamond , the purest diamond there ever was. A person who so humbly, so caringly and selflessly touched so many hearts in different ways and made such an impact on so many lives. Her imprint on this world can never be erased. The most dedicated person to changing people's lives and the power of education that I have ever known. A person who will never get to know and enjoy the freedom of her own retirement. The kindest, calmest, fairest and most silently strong and humble person I've ever met. It seems so incredibly unfair that you have been taken away from Steve and your sons, your beautiful grandchildren, your family and your closest friends and my thoughts and prayers go out to those people. The ripple of your loss is very wide reaching. To the wonderful, sparkly, vibrant, mischievous and adventurous woman, with the best twinkle in her eye! who cared so much, that was Liza Pybus, you made such an impact on all of our lives, extended so much kindness and will be dearly missed x x x 😭😭😭😭😭

Such deeply sad news hearing today. Liza taught me in 2020 and she was such an incredible person. I always remember her warmest welcome in my first day in Nottingham and every precious lessons she gave me. So grateful for that.
May Her Soul Rest In Peace

Posted by Emma Johnson, 04 Oct 2023

10 years have now passed since my time at NBS NTU, and Liza was one of those whose mark stays with me forever. She was such a wonderful woman, and even a better lecturer. She believed in every single student as individuals and she could find the best in each of us and help us making it shine. She leaves a terrible void in the lives of those fortunate enough to have met her. Heartfelt condolences to her family and loved ones.

I’m in utter shock to hear of my favorite lady loss. This heavenly lady cannot be called to Him by God. I will always remember you with your warm welcome in my first day in NBS, I will still recall the useful Teachings and directions given by you. With his insight and experience, he always made the classroom brighter. That’s probably going to be gravely missed. Heartiest sorrow for the loss of a beloved mentor. I hope he’s now in the right spot, and he’s watching us. His presence is going to be missed by everyone. I never felt that I’d write this. May her soul rest in peace.

Posted by Vijaya Mohan Murugadass, 04 Oct 2023

Liza was my academic mentor and throughout my study at NTU she was incredibly supportive. I shall never forget how much comfort she gave me at the time I was going through some emotional issues. It is so sad to lose such a beautiful soul. May she rest peacefully and may her family find comfort.

Posted by Favour Mba, 04 Oct 2023

I still cannot believe that you left us… every time I go into town and campus I look for you.. you are the greatest teacher and a good friend for me.. miss you forever

Posted by Regen, 04 Oct 2023

Liza was my teacher at NBS. A kind and gentle soul, she was always ready to help out and lend a hand whenever required. I remember when the going used to get tough and the pressure mounted, she always had a kind word for us and with her signature smile, she would offer words of comfort and motivate, encourage and support her students. She was a motherly figure and always ready to brighten up our days with her broad and affectionate smile and kind demeanour. May God bless your soul and elevate your ranks in Jannat. Rest in peace and you will continue to live on through all those students whose lives you impacted and touched. My heartfelt condolences to the family. May God grant you courage and fortitude to bear this tremendous loss. God bless!

I feel so privileged to have shared such special times with you. Rest easy now. You were loved by all who knew you and will be missed by us all xxxx

My condolences to Liza’s family. We had a great time on my dissertation in the BABM days 2010-11. Ever since I’ve loved the opportunities to chat or work with Liza as an alumni fellow, our joint love for theatre always a hot topic. Her loss is significant to our community. Rest in peace.

I was deeply saddened to hear about the news. I had the opportunity to meet her during our Thornbridge event back in September 2022. Ms. Liza was such an adorable and joyful person. She is a legend of the NBS department, and she will be missed.

Thank You

Posted by ADNAN MUNTASEER, 04 Oct 2023

This is such heartbreaking news. Liza was the warmest, and most humble person you could ever know.
I met her whilst performing Women of Troy at the Lace Market Theatre in 2013. She was so much fun and a very talented actor too.
We regularly bumped into each other at NTU and would have quick mini catch-ups. I will miss looking out for her in a crowded room and being drawn to her warm inviting smile.
Deepest condolences to her family and friends.

Posted by Ashreen Seethal, 04 Oct 2023

Hey Liza. I was at Thornbridge yesterday, so thought I would tell you how it went. I know how much you loved Thornbridge and how much we enjoyed bike riding together with the students. I was mostly faster than you. But you just laughed because you know me so well. Yesterday was a beautiful day. The sun was shining- so you were definitely there with us. We had some fun! Same food... you know the deal. The spuds were the size of small bricks. I took an additional brownie from Sally :) like usual. I would have text you, but know that reception is not always great where you are. So I sent a prayer instead. I know you will have received that just fine. I was in the Lakes two weeks ago- past Brathay and thought of you- and our Dragon boat...I think we won. But I could be making that up.... You must know, that while I won't be texting you anymore, or buying you Christmas trees...or asking to move in...I will always be thinking of you. Love is eternal. Claudia x

Posted by Claudia, 29 Sep 2023

Liza was one of the best colleagues I ever had at Nottingham Trent. So full of energy, optimism, ability to envisage projects and get things done. She was a great bringer together of people, always supportive, always kind, always encouraging you to better things. It was these qualities that made her such a wonderful teacher. Her students and their experience were always uppermost in her mind.

She had qualities beyond her life at Nottingham Trent. She was notably, amongst many other activities she was involved in, an accomplished performer in drama productions, adding vigour, drive and artful characterisation - and often a great deal of humour - to the ensembles she worked with.

Such a wonderful person, such a great loss.

Posted by John Orley, 27 Sep 2023

Liza was such an incredible person. Her friendly and caring nature, that ever-present smile, and her willingness to lend a hand... Even though I only had the chance to get to know her during our American trip, I felt a genuine connection.
Liza lived a beautiful life, filled with kindness and warmth.
Liza forever lives in my heart.

Such sad news to learn today. I used to work with Liza when I first worked in NBS at NTU. She always had a smile and made you feel relaxed and at ease. Her memory will live on in all those students that she helped to achieve their aspirations.

Posted by Sarah Jackson, 21 Sep 2023

So sorry to hear this sad news. Liza was always smiling, energetic and bubbly. I have fond memories of working together from the induction field trip in Derbyshire, getting lost as the student attempted to map read, watching Liza enthusiastically and repeatedly taking the opportunity to go down the zip wire while two teams of students competed to build bridges on the water below, to her working the room as the students celebrated at their end of year party. It was a privilege to work with Liza and she will be greatly missed.

Posted by Sarah Dossor, 21 Sep 2023

I too was on that corridor in Chaucer when Liza arrived at NBS. Like many others, we became friends quickly. So many memories to cherish. I will miss you very much but I am priviliged to been part of your world. Love H x

Posted by Helen McCormick, 20 Sep 2023

I met Liza in her first week at NTU. She was based in an office at the end of my corridor in Chaucer and made it her business to meet everyone she could, as soon as possible. My memories of her, over so many years, are varied but tend to have one factor in common - tremendous energy, and fearlessness. If a group of us were walking uphill, she would be striding out in front. She laughed whole-heartedly, not with some feeble snigger. In Baku she went out for coffee with a local female colleague - and no accompanying male. In - Athens? she faced down an earthquake, and won. She was friendly and helpful to everyone. The only time I ever saw her really angry was one time when she told me about her cat complaining to her - s/he was "shouting at me! Really shouting!". Note to self - don't shout at Liza.

Liza was unusual, perhaps unique, in her absolute focus on the student experience. She worked massively hard to do her best. At the same time, she somehow found time for other activities, especially acting. If she didn't have a role in the Lace Market Theatre's current production - well, then she would man the ticket office. Rest In Peace, Liza. You really deserve it.

Posted by Alicia Gazely, 20 Sep 2023

Liza was my lecturer and then friend. She kept checking on me after I started working in NTU. She invited me to my first walking theatre when she knew I had no idea what it was :) Loved it!! She was the best lecturer, mentor and a friend! She will be missed!!

Posted by Melanie Walker, 19 Sep 2023

Although I did not know Liza for as long many others, I will always remember her kind and supporting nature and how hard she worked for her students to give them the best experience at NTU. I was stuck at Toton Tram stop once when they had stopped working and Liza offered me a lift into the City which was so good of her and saved me finding a bus route into work. Such a sad loss for NBS, RIP Liza. Warmest regards, Anna xx

Posted by Anna Welberry, 19 Sep 2023

You will be deeply missed Liza. NBS will not be the same without your smile, your warmth, your dedication and your constant support for all those around you. You have left a legacy, touching the lives of your friends, your colleagues and all your students. We will all miss you dearly xx

Posted by Joy Davies, 19 Sep 2023

Liz enabled me to survive the switch to online teaching during the Covid 19 pandemic. She shared her experience of running the Masters Consultancy projects online in March of 2020 with me and other colleagues and in doing so provided me with the clarity & structure I needed to see a way forward to run online service-learning projects in autumn 2020. Yet another example of her kindness and generosity to colleagues in sharing her expertise and materials. What a sad loss to so many. My thoughts are with her friends and family. RIP.

Posted by Andrea Lyons-Lewis, 19 Sep 2023

I am so sorry to hear about the passing of Liza. I have known Liza for many years, having joined NTU around the same time. I worked with her when in NBS and since when she made requests for induction talks from SSS. She was always a supportive colleague, accessible and kind. Sending condolences to her colleagues in NBS, family and friends.

Posted by Sara Murcott, 19 Sep 2023

Such sad news. Whilst I didn't know Liza personally, having also worked at NTU for many years, I was aware of how highly she was regarded by colleagues. My condolences to her family and friends at this very sad time.

Posted by Alison Boston, 19 Sep 2023

I counted Liza as a friend first and colleague second, working with her for seven years as my course leader, for the January-start masters in management, and in her role as deputy head of postgraduate programmes.

On a personal level, I always felt that Liza was on my side, which was a mistake really, because she was on everyone’s side, but never in a mean-spirited way, as she didn’t play people off against one another. She was fair and friendly in her dealings with everyone and an expert problem-solver, who had a way of negotiating her way through stuff which helped everyone involved. Liza was – of course – great with everybody: students, staff and all of the other stakeholders (including the sometimes quite tricky external examiners.)

When I worked closely with her, Liza had enormous patience and never made me feel lacking or stupid, even in those early days, when I was new to working in higher education and hadn’t a clue what I was doing. I soon realised that this was because she was a great educator, with a special gift: an inciteful way of seeing the bigger picture, while acknowledging the small-seeming personal consequences on her co-workers. For instance, when I went to her with an issue I’d almost lost sleep over, she worked out what we needed to do calmly and methodically, seeing past the brick wall presenting itself to me, and sorting the problem out within seconds.

Liza made a big point of celebrating everyone’s success too. So, when it was my turn for a promotion, I received her best wishes, a congratulations card and lunch, although I know I wasn’t picked out for special treatment here as the recipient of Liza’s generosity. In my experience, Liza was kind and generous to everyone who crossed her path.

Of course, that doesn’t even begin to explain our relationship, and I have lots of memories of her relaxing, dancing and laughing. Somewhere in the world, an ex-student has phone-footage of Liza and I, dancing around a Derbyshire pub, fuelled by prosecco and dressed for warmth not style, in walking boots and anoraks. She joked that the student was perhaps poised and ready for blackmail.

I know that this makes Liza sound unprofessional, which isn’t true either. She dealt with the everyday demands of a job, which took her way beyond those weekly contracted hours of work, expertly and with good humour. There are examples of this which are too numerous to list here, although those trips to the Peak District with the new MSc students stand out. Dealing with 50 disoriented newbies, who were usually jet-lagged, coping with the unfamiliar food, culture, and January weather patterns was never going to be an easy task, but Liza had a way of making it look so simple and straightforward.

I learnt a lot from both working and knowing Liza Pybus and will miss her constantly, more than words can describe.

You were an amazing person Liza, and I feel privileged to have been one of the lucky ones, who was taken under your wing and nurtured by you, professionally and personally

Posted by Kate Husson, 19 Sep 2023

Liza was the first module leader I worked for on the consultancy projects when I started at NTU seven years ago. I was new to teaching, somewhat nervous and unsure of what to do... she was so friendly and supportive, welcoming and clear in her excellent guidance, a superb role model. Since then, I worked many times with Liza and recognise what an amazing teacher, leader and truly lovely person she was. She will be so very missed. My utmost condolences to her family and friends at this devastating and tragic time. Liza made so much positive difference to the lives of so many staff and students alike. RIP xxx

Posted by Helen Breese, 18 Sep 2023

Liza has become a great personal friend since I joined NTU and I will miss her firstly on a very personal level as well as professionally. She was incredibly welcoming, superbly organised and hard working and totally committed to NTU and her students. Liza worked all hours ,way beyond the call of duty with trips away to the peak district in all weathers .Liza would climb, abseil and ride a bike with students ,socialise and take them to conferences or Alton towers! Her priority was always the satisfaction of students and being friendly and fun .
She has inspired 100's of post graduates many who have kept in touch over the years .
On top of this she could act and dance ,go to music gigs and walk with the best of them .Liza was a force of life which has tragically being cut short .We will miss you so much .
