Senator Dean Murray surprised WellLife Network Office Manager Kelly Savage with a State Senate 2025 Commendation Award and Certificate, recognizing her nearly two decades of dedicated service to the organization.
The Commendation Award is presented to individuals who demonstrate exceptional, selfless service to their communities. Savage was honored in front of members of WellLife Network’s executive team and staff for her heartfelt dedication during her 18 years with the organization, particularly within the Children and Family Services Division.
“Kelly is the glue that holds WellLife together,” Murray said during the presentation. “She doesn’t do this work for recognition. She does it because she genuinely cares about people, and that kind of commitment makes a real difference every single day.”
Murray praised Savage’s behind-the-scenes leadership, noting that her professionalism, compassion, and reliability have helped ensure families and children receive consistent support and services. “Organizations such as WellLife depend on people like Kelly,” he said. “She shows up, she follows through, and she leads by example.”
Savage, visibly moved by the surprise recognition, was applauded by colleagues who credited her with creating a welcoming and supportive workplace culture.
“WellLife’s mission is only possible because of people who give their time, energy, and heart,” Murray added. “Kelly Savage represents the very best of public service, and it was an honor to recognize her today.”
