80. Everyday Hero (The Story of a Nurse) ~ Wilma Duckworth
While scanning through some local news lately, I saw an old high school friend of mine getting some well deserved attention for retiring after an amazing 45 year career in nursing. I can’t think of a tougher job and yet, the accolades simply reminded me of a lovely human being I used to know along with her future husband Paul. A couple of truly wonderful people.
This week it's an Everyday Hero (The Story of a Nurse) with Goderich native Wilma Duckworth talking about her family, friends, growing up in a small town and her amazing career in nursing at Alexandra Marine & General Hospital ... and we might reminisce a little about some wonderful times gone by.
I was scanning through some local news lately and I saw an old high school friend of mine was getting a little well deserved attention for retiring after a 45 year career, taking care of people as a nurse at AMGH in Goderich. Personally, I can’t think of a tougher job and yet, the accolades simply reminded me of a lovely human being I used to know and her future husband Paul, just a couple of really great people.
I’m happy to say we have Goderich native Wilma Duckworth with us today to talk about family, friends, community and her amazing career in nursing ... and we might reminisce a little about some wonderful times gone by.
