Marion Wilson stands in the Main Street of Canowindra proud to have been awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia.
Marion Wilson Receives Prestigious Award
Marion Wilson was officially awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia, last Monday on the Queens Birthday. The Order of Australia recognises outstanding members of the community at a national level, for those who have given extraordinary services to Australia and humanity. “I am very humbled, it is really the work of a group of people. I am surrounded by marvellous people, it’s a thrill to be honoured in this way,” said Marion Wilson. “I was nominated 18 months ago for my work in health, the church and local community groups,” she said. Marion is currently the Co-Chair of the Anglican and Uniting Church Council, Chair of Community Life Centre Development, Chair of District Church Council Unit-
ing Church, Chair of the Christmas Day Lunch Committee and Chair of Canowindra Foodbasket, just to name a few. “It is wonderful. When you give you get a heap back. I just do it and don’t really think about it. I see opportunities to make a difference in the community and with the help of other wonderful people we really make a difference.” Marion has had a big involvement in Health Care in the Central West and says, “I was 1 in 6 of the nurses who came to the Central West and the first to come to Canowindra”. She worked on state policies for the Department of Health and worked with the committees to establish multi purpose services. Continued on page 2
