Hometown Hero of the Week

Hometown Hero of the Week: Elizabeth Cloninger, March 19th, 2025

Hometown Hero of the Week: Elizabeth Cloninger, March 19th, 2025

Our QDR Hometown Hero of the Week is Elizabeth Cloninger from a paramedic from Troy. 

Elizabeth has been in EMS for many years, she comes to work and is always happy. She has been through many tragic events in just the last 2 years, especially with the loss of her husband who was a police officer, and the recent death of her mother. She is a role model to her 2 daughters, her oldest is following in her footsteps already, and the second one will after high school.  Elizabeth is always great to work with and has a great personality, that’s why I think she should be Hometown Hero of the week. She works at Moore County EMS, part time at First health EMS, and is a full-time mother to her kids and her fur babies. 

Thank you, Elizabeth, for your service! As a token of our appreciation, we’re sending you a $50 gift card to Smithfield’s Chicken ‘N Bar-B-Q to thank you for all you do.
