I had the pleasure of working alongside Mary, as a colleague and a peer. Her tireless commitment to the community of Burnie was rare. Watching the service, I am moved to hear the memories from those who's lives she touched. What an amazing friend Mary was.
Mary Yaxley was a champion for her community & for social justice. Her wisdom, integrity & compassion shone like a beacon. Mary put community, children & care at the centre. Rest in peace Mary. Thank you for the work you did to support others.
I was fortunate to work with Mary over the last 3 years. Her commitment and care to and for the community of Burnie was evident in everything that she did. Both in and outside work Mary's kindness shone through. Thoughts and prayers are with her loved ones
