Her colleagues have described her as a person with strong spiritual convictions who was committed to her work, a pleasure to work with and a team player.
She is survived by her mother, three children, one grandchild and two siblings.
There will be a memorial service at Rochester House, Browning Road, Observatory on 15 January 2020 from 14:00 to 16:00.

The university has reached out to offer support to the Carelse family, and our heartfelt condolences go out to them and all who knew Ms Carelse.
