Moving tributes as Thornhill Manor says farewell to Jackie Scott

Thornhill Manor celebrated the remarkable career of Jackie Scott at a farewell ceremony on January 29.

Jackie was a dedicated member of the village management team for an incredible 23 years. “The retirement send-off was a heartfelt occasion, filled with tributes, speeches and reflections on Jackie’s profound impact on both residents and staff,” says village social worker Karen Griessel.

Colleagues and residents gathered to honour Jackie’s years of commitment, compassion and professionalism. Some shared personal stories highlighting her kindness, resilience and the positive difference she made in the lives of everyone she encountered.

“Her dedication to creating a warm, supportive environment for residents, as well as her mentorship, particularly to her successor, Christine Human, has left a lasting legacy at Thornhill Manor,” says village manager Shaun Victor.

“The countless moments of care and support Jackie provided throughout her tenure were emphasised in the tributes, alongside her contributions to establishing a strict organisation of culture and practices. Jackie leaves behind a legacy of commitment and compassion that will be remembered by all who had the privilege of working alongside her,” says Karen.
