FLASHBACK: South Burnett councillor Kathy Duff with former Murgon Shire councillors Bob Eisenmenger and Raelene Dennis at a public meeting in Murgon in 2014<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

October 26, 2019<\/strong><\/p>\n

Former Murgon Deputy Mayor – and well-known local businesswoman – Raelene Dennis has died after a long illness.<\/p>\n

Raelene, 57, was a familiar face at\u00a0Dennis Electrical Services but\u00a0was also well-known in the community for her work with charitable causes.<\/p>\n

She took over as head of the CRISIS group, fundraising for the helicopter rescue service, after the retirement of long-time president Irma Close.<\/p>\n

Raelene also served as president of the Murgon Hospital Auxiliary and was the co-ordinator of the community effort to assist former resident Shona Muckert after she was badly injured in a car crash.<\/p>\n

She was named Murgon Citizen of the Year at the South Burnett Regional Council Australia Day awards in 2010.<\/p>\n

A note from the family posted on the Murgon Business and Development Association’s Facebook page on Saturday reads:<\/p>\n

“A message to let everyone know that Raelene passed away at 11:50pm last night with Jim, Kyal and Bec by her side. <\/em><\/p>\n

Raelene is now at peace! She has fought a long and hard fight and suffered a great deal of pain throughout the 3.5yrs of her terminal illness and 93 days of palliative care.<\/em><\/p>\n

Rest in the place of God. Raelene.<\/em><\/p>\n

We will always remember you as a loving wife and mother who was happiest when helping others<\/em><\/p>\n

– \ud83d\ude4f\ud83c\udffb\ud83c\udf39\ud83e\udde1 Jim, Kyal & Bec Dennis”<\/em><\/p>\n

A memorial service for Raelene Joy Dennis (nee Mooney) will be held from 11:00am next Friday (November 1)\u00a0\u00a0at St Joseph\u2019s Catholic Church, Angel Avenue, Murgon.<\/p>\n

The family has requested that in lieu of flowers donations to CareFlight may be considered. Envelopes will be provided at the service.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
