AN AMBULANCE officer's kindness has overwhelmed a Victorian woman grieving the death of her mother.

National Patient Transport Services officer Marc Primrose found a parking fine in the ambulance he used to help transport Rosemary Morgan’s mother Doreen from McKenna House Palliative Care in Broadmeadows to her Woodstock home on June 17.

The fine belonged to Mrs Morgan, whose mum died at the family home three days later.

Mr Primrose, a trainee ambulance paramedic, sensed the grief the family would have been going through and didn’t think twice about paying the $129 fine for her.

“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.”

Mrs Morgan said at the time the family didn’t think to check the parking meter.

“I think it was a three or four-hour parking limit, it wasn’t a long time,’’ Mrs Morgan said.

“We were in palliative care all night and day with mum. We didn’t want to leave her.”

She said seeing the parking ticket was horrible. “I just knew it was another thing I had to deal with later on,” she said.

“We just didn’t want to leave mum’s side.”

Mrs Morgan and her sister Karen were lucky enough to meet Mr Primrose in person and thank him for his act of kindness.

“For a complete stranger to do something like this was just amazing,” Mrs Morgan said.

“It’s been the little things like this that have helped us after mum’s death.”
