Marie, now a resident of the Mater Nursing Home, was joined by family members for the special occasion. Also in attendance was PDG Peter Perry from Geurie Club and John Finn from Wellington Club.  

Marie joined Lions at the Parkes Clarinda Club in June 1994 and rose through the ranks to serve time as the Club President. She transferred to the Forbes Club in August 2009.  

At the Changeover Luncheon in 2013 Marie was presented with a Win Tyquin Award. She was 2 Year Director in 2015 and a 1Yr Director in 2016.

Club President Ray Judge said, “Marie has always been willing to assist where possible whether it be selling raffle tickets or collecting Dinner fees at our meetings.” Marie’s late husband Ted was a member of the original Forbes Lions Club, both of them devoting many hours to the Forbes community.
