We are saddened to share the news of the passing on Saturday at Yea of Mrs Joan Purcell.

Her list of community involvements in Yea seems endless, including: Church, CWA, Fire Brigade, Guiding, Hospital Auxiliary, Lions Ladies, Red Cross, Rosebank, Show Society, Schools and Kindergartens. There were many other community links.

Our sincere sympathies to the Purcell family.
