Maurice Zeffert Home, Western Australia
The Home was named after the late Maurice Zeffert- (M.B.E.) a man who was a great leader and communal worker. His wife Toby, made an exceptionally generous donation of five thousand pounds to the Home Appeal in 1959- the year after Maurice Zeffert died, which inspired many more donations and fund raising activities. Due to Maurice’s many years of leadership and communal activities together with Toby’s generosity, permission was sought from Mrs Toby Zeffert by the Executive of the Home, to name the Home after her husband. She agreed and the Home was named in his memory.
