It's with great sadness the Modena Fire Company announces the passing of Mona Blacklock on Tuesday September 27th 2022.

Most remember her as Mona Groce or Pluck while she was active with the company. A Life member since the the 80's Mona was very active on the Ambulance and held multiple EMS officer position over the years, in addition Mona also held executive board positions as well.

In the retirement years as she called it Mona remainder a vital part of the company and continued to assist with fundraising and overall support of the young generation and in fact was like a second mom to some of us.
