Lyn has served the community through her long career of roughly 28 years at the Moree residential aged care facility Whiddon, formally known as Fairview.
Having grown up in the area Lyn was familiar with local families, allowing her to give her personal touch when working with the residents.
With a willingness to volunteer where possible, from either serving you food/drinks through the local Lions Club, to her time at St Vinnie’s sorting through kindly gifted donations to serving the customers on front counter, always giving her time and energy to uplift those around her.
“It is always a pleasure to attend the Seniors Citizens luncheon, with a very pleasing number of nominations for this most deserving accolade. We thank Lyn for her dedicated time to the community”. said Mayor Johnson.
“Congratulations to our other nominees, Darryl Bird, David Roberts, Dawn McMahon, Geoff Dunlop, Henry Trow, Jock Jones, Kerry Cassells, Lorraine Bartel, Madonna McInnes, Michael McNamara, Nelly Jones, Sylvia Macey, Tommy Cain, for their unwavering and invaluable contribution to our Shire.”

“I would love to see the nomination numbers grow each year, as we certainly have many people who make immeasurable impact to this place, the Moree Plains which we call home.” said Mayor Johnson.
