Brenda Clouten Memorial Award
Brenda
was 60 when she passed away of breast cancer after first being
diagnosed in June 1999. After chemo and treatment she had the all clear
until June 2001 when we were told it was to be terminal. She soldiered
on for another 3 years. Brenda had lived in the Maitland area for more
than 25 years and spent the last 16 years at Largs. Brenda was an
amazing person always seeing the good in everyone, putting others before
herself. Even at her sickest moments she would always be concerned ‘how
you were’. She derived a lot of pleasure from the arts. She loved
ballet, musicals, theatre and all things arty. She loved the good things
in life and always lived for the moment. The scholarship is our way of
creating a lasting memorial that will give benefit to a young, upcoming
talent in the hunter area and keep her alive in our hearts. Vicki and
Bruce Woods (scholarship founders)
