Collette Lemay Scholarship

Collette Lemay passed away on February 1, 1995 at Catholic Medical Center in Manchester, NH after suffering a brain aneurysm while at work at the Union office.

She was 57 years old. Collette left behind her husband Richard and daughter Veronica.

Collette served IBEW, Local 2320 for many years as Business Agent representing Operator Services. During that time, there were 10 offices throughout New Hampshire with both New England Telephone and AT&T operators. In addition to her duties as Business Agent, she also handled all benefit issues and at the time of her passing, she was Financial Secretary of the Local.

Sister Lemay worked tirelessly for the membership of Local 2320, and did so in a professional and respectful manner. She was a lady in the true sense of the word.

Her absence is felt to this day by all who knew her.

For all the reasons stated, the Officers and Executive Board discussed ways to honor her memory and decided on a scholarship fund in her name. In the years of fundraising, primarily through our annual Collette Lemay Memorial Scholarship Fund Golf Tournament, we have raised more than $100,000 and have awarded more than $80,000 in scholarships. We are now going to use our Paul Mark Bowling Tournament to help raise funds to continue this endeavor in her name.
