Former Shawville Mayor, Sandra Murray, passed away peacefully on Saturday, Nov. 26, 2022.

Murray served as Shawville’s first female mayor for two terms before retiring in 2021 due to health reasons.  

Prior to her time as mayor she served several years on Shawville’s council. 

Murray had worked many years at the Pontiac Community Hospital but also volunteered her time in many local organizations including the Shawville Lionettes and Shawville United Church Women Unit 6, among others.

Murray’s passing is a huge loss to the community and our thoughts are with her family and friends.
