Vale Jenny Dowell OAM, remembered for her warmth, strength and service The NSW local government sector is deeply saddened by the passing of former Lismore Mayor Jenny Dowell OAM, a widely respected and much-loved leader who dedicated her life to serving her community. LGNSW President Mayor Darcy Byrne said Jenny Dowell was an outstanding representative who exemplified what is best about local government. “Jenny Dowell was a natural leader who brought people together, inspired those around her, and always put her community first,” Mayor Byrne said. “She was deeply respected across the sector, not just for her achievements, but also for the way she made people feel – valued, heard and supported. “Jenny served on Lismore City Council from 2004 to 2016, including eight years as Mayor, where she was a strong and thoughtful advocate for her community. “After finishing her time at council, Jenny worked for LGNSW as a highly experienced teacher, facilitator and educator. “She was known for her warmth, integrity and determination, and for her ability to lead with compassion and clarity. “Beyond her work in local government, Jenny made a lasting contribution through her tireless fundraising efforts and her commitment to supporting others. “Her legacy is one of generosity, strength and a deep connection to the Lismore community that she served so proudly. “On behalf of LGNSW, I extend our heartfelt condolences to Jenny’s husband, Ron, her family, friends, and all those who had the privilege of knowing and working with her.”
