On joining the council, Marion said: “I first became involved with the town council in 2016, when I joined the events committee to help with the planning of the Christmas lights event, we had such a great time, I wanted to get more involved with the work of the town council.

“I would encourage anyone to become involved with town events because Raunds is a great place to live and has a thriving community spirit.”

Born and raised in Hayes, Middlesex, Marion spent most of her working life in the health service, firstly training as a pharmacy technician and then as a medical secretary spending much of her career at Addenbrooke’s Hospital, Cambridge. Outside of work Marion’s interests were complementary and alternative therapies, environmental issues and organic gardening.

Marion leaves her husband, Richard, a son and daughter and three young grandchildren.
