Trainee Paramedic Pays For Grieving Woman’s Parking Ticket

At Her.ie, we reserve the word 'hero' for a special few but after hearing Marc Primrose's good deed, he definitely fits into this category. Marc, a trainee ambulance paramedic, paid off a $129 (€92) parking fine for Rosemary Morgan in June, after finding a penalty notice in the ambulance he was driving. After receiving the ticket earlier in the day, Rosemary had left it in the ambulance that brought her mother Doreen home from a palliative care hospice. Doreen died three days later, according to the Herald Sun. “It was my instinct not to just let this go because someone would have ended up with late fees and I didn’t want that to happen,” Mr Primrose said. “I’m just glad that it helped.” Rosemary said that at the time no one had thought to check the parking meter, “I think it was a three or four-hour parking limit, it wasn’t a long time,’’ she said. “We were in palliative care all night and day with Mum. We didn’t want to leave her". Rosemary met Marc in person to thank him for his kind act saying:  “For a complete stranger to do something like this was just amazing. It’s been the little things like this that have helped us after Mum’s death".
