Granite Stater of the Month Mary Frances Lawler

Senator Maggie Hassan recognized Mary Lawler of Jaffrey as January’s Granite Stater of the Month for her lifetime of service, including 12 years of volunteering at Monadnock Community Hospital (MCH).

Mary, an 86-year-old former nurse, initially began volunteering after a 50-year career at the hospital, inspired by her mother who also worked there as a nurse. She now contributes primarily to the hospital’s human resources department, welcoming new employees and fostering a supportive community.

Senator Hassan praises Mary’s dedication and her embodiment of the “Granite State spirit” – a commitment to service and making a difference regardless of age. Mary’s story highlights the positive impact individuals can have through volunteering and community involvement.
