Ms Heinrich is one of three editors of the Servi Snippets newsletter, helping to keep the community informed for nearly two decades.
As president of the Serviceton Recreation and Sports Association, Ms Heinrich also manages the local clubrooms and camping grounds, often filling in for others to meet the community’s needs.
Her contributions also extend to the Serviceton Rural Fire Brigade, where she has served as secretary for years, as well as the Serviceton Ladies Fellowship, where she is the current vice-president.
On top of her many other commitments, Ms Heinrich also regularly drives a community bus from Kaniva to Horsham and volunteers at the Kaniva Purple Starfish community shop.
West Wimmera Shire Council chief executive David Bezuidenhout praised Ms Heinrich’s exceptional contributions to the community when presenting her with her award.
“Angela is an outstanding example of dedication and service. Her tireless work in the Serviceton and Kaniva districts is deeply appreciated by all who know her,” he said.
“She has an incredible ability to bring people together and has encouraged the younger generation to take on important community roles.
“Angela’s commitment and energy are truly inspiring, and we are honoured to recognise her with this award.”
The council’s senior citizen of the year award recognises shire residents aged 60 years or older who have contributed to community wellbeing, have a positive attitude towards ageing, continue to be active in their community and encourage others to do the same.
