Vale Betty Kuskopf

I have sad news that our retired member Betty Kuskopf has recently passed away.

Betty was a long time member having played way back in the eighties and long into the 2000’s . She served on our Ladies Committee and was a long time Treasurer.

In later years Betty became a resident of Fairways Nursing home and earlier this year moved to Brisbane to be cared for by family.

Sadly Betty passed away earlier this month and we send our sincere condolences to her family. 🌹🌹
