A tribute to the late Salem Mayor Diane Head

The acting clerk for Salem, Marti Jennings, released a statement today on the death of the small town’s mayor: “The Town of Salem is heartbroken to announce the passing of our Mayor, Diane Head, age 54 of Park Avenue, Salem. Mayor Head was in her 3rd Term of office and was known as the Peoples Mayor. She was involved in every aspect of the town. At every town sponsored event or community service project, Diane was the first to put her hands to work. She could be found running her tractor down the street on Town Clean up day, or making sure a student that may need a little extra encouragement got it.” That’s part of Salem’s statement today on the passing of its mayor. The service will be 4:00 pm, Saturday July 21, 2018 at Eagle Ridge Charter School. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the Diane Head Memorial Scholarship at any Community First Bank.
