The 61-year-old Nabuyungo has been a teacher for the last 36 years and she has taught in a number of schools.
Shock has gripped the school community of St. Joseph’s Mixed Primary School Naggalama after learning about the death of their headteacher, Mary Josephine Nabuyungo.
According to Frank Ssempeebwa, the chairperson of Naggalama Professional Village, which hosts St. Joseph’s Mixed Primary School Naggalama, Nabuyungo has been admitted at St. Francis Naggalama Hospital from where she breathed her last breath on Tuesday.
Ssempeebwa however said by press time, the details regarding the cause of her death were not yet known.
The 61-year-old Nabuyungo has been a teacher for the last 36 years and she has taught in a number of schools.
In her interview with the Monitor News Paper in 2019, Nabuyungo said she was inspired into teaching by her parents Jane Frances Nambasa and the late John Chrysostom Kivumbi who were teachers.
Her parents originally lived in Bulemeezi, the present day Luweero district but migrated to Kyaggwe in Kasawo sub-county as a result of the Guerilla war.
To carry on the teaching legacy in the family, the first born of 11 inspired four of her siblings and her two daughters into teaching.
She has also been the president of the Friends of Mother Kevin, an organization which supports the work of the Little Sisters of St. Francis of Assisi which was founded by Mother Mary Kevin Kearney.
Her burial arrangements will be communicated in a due course.
