Helen Blaxland
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dame Helen Frances Blaxland, DBE, OBE (born 21 June 1907) spent much of her life working for charitable institutions, particularly the Australian Red Cross Society, for which she was named OBE in 1967. Her other interests included flower arrangement, on which she published two books.
She was appointed as a Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire on 14 June 1975 for service to the community in recognition of her contribution to the National Trust of New South Wales and the Parramatta Properties Committee.
It is not clear if she is still alive as of 2007, but, if so, she is fast approaching centenarian status.
