Gloucester resident Mary Jane McGlennon was honored Wednesday as a member of the Massachusetts Commission on the Status of Women’s 2020 class of Commonwealth Heroines.
“Mary Jane McGlennon embodies the spirit of this award,” said state Rep. Ann-Margaret Ferrante, who has observed McGlennon work tirelessly on behalf of Cape Ann’s most vulnerable residents. Ferrante recommended McGlennon earlier this year. “She has a lifetime of giving to her community, seeking no compensation in return other than to benefit the lives of others.”
