We mourned the passing of two prominent Portsmouth, NH Rotarians—Marie Brownell and Joan Rice.
Both Marie and Joan were Paul Harris Award recipients.
The Portsmouth Club devoted an entire program to celebrate Marie’s steadfast Rotary work including donating more than $20,000 dollars. She went way beyond the call of duty for Christmas Tree sales and chaired the club’s annual Golf Tournament.
Joan, a former member, was a popular connecting force in the community and a Rotary Exchange Student “mother” several times over.
Both will be missed. Below are links to their obituaries.
