Donna Murray Named Goderich’s Senior Of The Year
Donna Murray helps people during some of the worst times in their life. She is a volunteer at the Emergency Department of the Alexandra Marine and General Hospital.
For that dedication, Murray was named Goderich’s Senior of the Year and accepted the award from Goderich Mayor Kevin Morrison on Aug. 8.
Jennifer Black nominated Murray for the award after witnessing the positive impact Murray has on those who come through the doors of the Emergency Department, as well as volunteering in many other capacities.
“I hope you don’t have to go to the Emergency Department at the hospital, but if you do, Donna is there to help you. And she’s there all hours of the week,” Black said.
“I felt she deserved some recognition.”
Morrison said he experienced Murray’s personal warmth when he had to visit the Emergency Department.
“We really appreciate what you do, and what you’ve done. And thank you so much for your contribution to our community as well.”
