Parkes Community Grieves The Loss Of Local Couple

The Pakes community is in shock, after learning local husband and wife Graeme and Sue Tait, both 57, were fatally injured in a tragic two car collision on the Newell Highway in Tomingley, just south of Dubbo around 9:20pm on Friday 30th September.

Graeme and Sue have left behind five children aged between 16 and 26. The cou­ple were well known and much loved local residents. Graham was an experienced, well respected coach driver and fundraiser, while Sue was a beloved teacher and as­sistant director of Parkes Early Childhood Centre, having worked there for 17 years.

A GoFundMe campaign has been organ­ised by Amii Marchant on behalf of Berna­dette Tait to support the children of Graham and Sue Tait. Please get behind this fun­draiser for the five Tait children who now require a large amount of support.
