Brigadier Norah Yarnold was Promoted to Glory from Resthaven, Marion, South Australia on Saturday 17 April 2010 at the age of 96 years.
Norah entered the Training Garrison to train as a Salvation Army officer on 10 March, 1937 to join the Guardians of the Covenant session of cadets. Following commissioning in January of the following year, Norah was appointed to the Bayswater Boys Home in Melbourne. After three years there, she was appointed to the People’s Palace in Adelaide where she served for 19 years being appointed as Matron on 6 May, 1948. In October 1960, she became the Matron of the No. 2 Home, Bayswater (the Bayswater Boys Home) where she remained until appointed as Matron to the Melbourne People’s Palace. She retired from this appointment in January 1974.
She served 73 years as a Salvation Army officer.
Her tribute reads:
"Norah was better known to disadvantaged public than she was to many Salvationists. She was a keen Bible student and very quietly and successfully introduced many people to her Lord."
Well done, good and faithful servant.
