Remembering Eleanor Bryant

The Macedon Ranges community is invited to come together to commemorate the life of the late Eleanor Bryant, 12 months on from the tragic event at the Montessori Kindergarten in Riddells Creek.

A commemorative gathering will be held at 5.30pm on Tuesday 11 November at Lions Park, Riddells Creek, featuring a tree planting and plaque unveiling in Eleanor’s memory.

The event will be led by Eleanor’s husband, Tim Bryant, who has worked closely with Macedon Ranges council and the Riddells Creek Lions Club to bring the memorial to fruition. The Lions Club has kindly assisted to incorporate this commemorative tree planting in their soon-to-be-installed pollen garden funded through council’s community funding scheme.

This open community event offers an opportunity for residents, friends, and families to reflect, remember, and celebrate Eleanor’s life and legacy. Attendees are encouraged to bring a picnic and share in this special occasion of remembrance and connection.

Council chief executive Bernie O’Sullivan said council was honoured to support the Bryant family and local community in creating a lasting tribute to Eleanor.

“This event is an opportunity for the community to come together in reflection and support,” he said.

“It’s a chance to honour Eleanor’s memory and to recognise the strength and compassion that continue to shine through the Riddells Creek community.”

RSVPS are not invited, with all invited to attend.
