United Hospital Aux recognises Alice Thorne (nee Fleming)

Congratulations Alice!

Alice Thorne, nee Fleming, was honoured to receive a State Life Membership with the United Hospital Auxiliary of NSW Inc at the 2026 State Conference.

Alice is a born and breed Barraba girl who grew up and spent her childhood and school years here in Barraba. She started her nursing career as a casual at Barraba Hospital and worked here for a while.

Alice now lives with her family in Collarenebri and works at their local hospital as a very dedicated nurse. She works tirelessly for her local hospital auxiliary and has been involved for 27 years. She also regularly supports our Barraba Hospital Auxiliary fundraising efforts.

Alice’s Mum, Mary Fleming was heavily involved in many volunteer organisations in Barraba including our Hospital Auxiliary, she always had such great ideas for raising funds for us to purchase medical equipment and patient comfort items for our local hospital.

Alice has definitely taken after her Mum in her dedication to her volunteer work and looking after others. She is an incredible asset to her town and to every organisation that she is involved in.

Congratulations Alice, we are very proud of you, as are all your family and friends.
