„With deep sadness and pain, we announce that Ilona Balkuvienė – a long-time, dedicated teacher at Trakai Gymnasium, social pedagogue, our irreplaceable colleague and beloved friend – has passed away.
Ilona enriched our gymnasium not only with profound knowledge and professionalism but also with special warmth, a smile, and kindness. She was always ready to help, listen, and support in difficult moments. Her dedication to working with youth and the heart she put into every day spent at the gymnasium will remain an example for us. We will remember her as a person full of empathy, wisdom, and kindness, who always considered the well-being of students and colleagues the highest priority.
The void she left is irreplaceable.
