Cumberland resident and dedicated volunteer Narelle Morris who passed away on Christmas Day 2017 will be forever remembered in Volunteer Park Merrylands at a plaque unveiling ceremony to be held on Friday 1 June 2018.
Mayor Greg Cummings said Narelle Morris was a passionate and loyal person who dedicated much of her life to helping her Cumberland community.
“Narelle was a remarkable woman and well liked member of our community. She joined Holroyd Community Aid as a volunteer in 2004 and very quickly took on a leadership role amongst the volunteers. Narelle was instrumental in improving the organisations volunteer numbers and positive community outcomes,” Mayor Greg Cummings said.
“Narelle was well known especially around Merrylands and developed relationships with residents, business owners, service providers, Council staff and elected Councillors.
“People always spoke highly of Narelle and her life experience which gave her a strong sense of community spirit. In 2012 Narelle was awarded Holroyd Citizen of the Year in recognition of her outstanding and long term volunteer work for the community and in 2016 was recognised as Granville’s local woman of the year.
“Cumberland will always remember Narelle and I hope others will continue to use her as an inspiration to make a difference in the lives of everyone we meet.”
