Muriel E. MacDonald Fund

Muriel MacDonald established this fund in her own name at the same time that she set up a fund in memory of her parents and a fund in memory of her aunt. Miss MacDonald was a member of the Wakefield High School Class of 1942 and a 1944 graduate of Fisher Junior College. She began working as a secretary for the Wakefield Savings Bank in 1947 and retired in 1986, having served as Executive Secretary to three different Executive Officers.
