Marie Murray’s love for Mackay is apparent through her commitment and her service to the community.
Ms Murray was acknowledged on Thursday of last week with a morning tea at the Northern Beaches Community Hall.
The celebration marks her 35 years of service in managing the hall, a service which came to an end this year.
Ms Murray has been involved in the hall since it was first built, with her name listed on minutes from the first meetings held by the hall committee dating back to 1987.
She is known in the community for always going above and beyond, acting as a conduit and advocate for community groups and not-for-profits that use the hall.
Ms Murray was also a councillor, serving five terms between 1985 to 2000 in both the Pioneer Shire and the Mackay City Councils.
An active and passionate member of the community, Ms Murray has been a Queen's Baton bearer, received the Pride of the Region Award and is a well-respected marriage celebrant.
Ms Murray was presented with a Certificate of Appreciation from the Council by Mayor Greg Williamson and spoken of fondly by councillors and members of the public throughout the morning tea.
