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)
