It is with
great sadness that we advise the passing of Morna Franklin.
Morna held numerous positions at MDNA and worked tirelessly to
ensure that MDNA was at the forefront of Netball in the state. Her dedication
was honoured by being awarded Life Member at MDNA in 1984, as well as by the
Mayfield Netball Club (awarded in 1984) and Netball Queensland (awarded in 1991).
Morna devoted her life to growing and supporting the game
she loved. Morna represented Queensland and Australia with distinction as a
bench official at the Commonwealth Games, was also the State's Event Manager
for Netball Queensland for many years and was a long-standing manager of numerous
Queensland teams. A passionate supporter of the Queensland Firebirds since
their earliest days at Chandler, Morna rarely missed a match.
Morna will be remembered for her dedication and
services to MDNA and our great sport of netball
