How long have you lived in Parkes and what do you like most about living here?
I have lived in Parkes for 62 years. I love the size of Parkes, it is not too small and not too big, easy to get around in a short time.
Where do you work or what do you do currently and what do you enjoy about it? I do volunteer work spending several days a week at Parkes Craft Corner and one day at Anglicare Op Shop, Georgies Boutique. I play bowls at Parkes Sporting and Bowling Club on Tuesdays. I do Meals on Wheels twice a month. I enjoy meeting people and interacting with other volunteers.
What do you do in your spare time and on weekends? On weekends I like to relax and knit items for Craft Corner.
What are you really good at? I am really good at knitting beanies.
If you could have a superpower what would it be? If I had a superpower I would build houses and units for homeless, vulnerable people, especially older women on very limited incomes.
What is your pet hate? My pet hate is people who litter. Take your rubbish home, please do not drop it in the street.
Tell us about your best holiday. My best holiday was travelling by bus through Tasmania with my husband.
