Louise Marshall of Eden Mills was recently presented with a Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal at the annual general meeting of the Canadian Diabetes Association (CDA).
Waterloo regional councillor Jean Hallboon, along with Lori Gregory, the CDA’s manager of community engagement for Ontario, made the presentation on May 30.
Marshall, who first got involved with the CDA when her mother Lucille Verrall started canvassing at 65 after being diagnosed with diabetes, was nominated by the central west CDA office for 24 years of canvassing.
“Louise never waits for a call from the CDA, she always calls them first,” said Gregory.
On hand to help celebrate with Marshall, who was one of five volunteers to receive the medal last week, were her husband Dan, her daughters Val and Laura, and niece Claire.
