Noelene Ward
Mary-Anne THOMAS (Macedon – Leader of the House, Minister for Health, Minister for Ambulance Services, Minister for Women) (09:54): Noelene Ward was a much-loved mother, partner and grandmother and a tireless advocate for compassion, connection and suicide prevention. Following the tragic loss of her son Liam, Noelene transformed her grief into purpose, becoming a driving force behind Live4Life and the Macedon Ranges Suicide Prevention Action Group. Through her courage and kindness Noelene touched countless lives and leaves behind a legacy that will endure. It was always a pleasure to spend time with Noelene. I send my heartfelt condolences to her husband Marcus, to her daughter Lynsey and her partner Anthony and to her little granddaughter Wren.
