Community stalwart Emily Duthie farewelled 

Published on 31 May, 2012 

One of Rockhampton's foremost citizens and a Companion of CQUniversity, Emily Duthie was farewelled by hundreds attending a funeral service this week.

University staff were among those who attended in tribute to her many decades of charity fundraising, philanthropy and support for community organisations, including the University.

Emily, who reached the age of 96, earned recognition as a Companion of CQUniversity in 1999 and continued her annual donations for student prizes.

Her late husband Les (who died in 2004) was also a Companion of this institution who helped found the Iwasaki Foundation (which continues to provide scholarship support for our students).

Both Les and Emily were great supporters of the establishment and early development of tertiary education in Rockhampton.
