The motion

That the Parliament recognises the contributions of Newarthill volunteer, Mary Brown, in the local community; commends Mary's tenacity and support for her community, where she has spent 35 years teaching local children and has continued to support the school community after her retirement; understands that she has also been very active in her church, where she is one of the elders and that she taught Sunday School for over five decades, as well as volunteering at, and leading, the P1 to P3 group of the local Boys' Brigade; believes that she was instrumental in organising and ensuring that local children attended gala days, along with volunteering at a local mental health support group for the last eight years where, it understands, she provided hope for the community through sharing sunshine stories and songs; understands that she also contributed to the work of other local organisations, before being diagnosed with a life-limiting illness, and commends Mary for all of her endeavours, which have made a difference in the community that she loves so dearly.
