Dear Lorraine, Kasey, Chelsea, Jai, Kerrin & Families, With Deepest Sympathy in the loss of your Mum and Nan. Betty was always bright & happy. She loved having a chat, especially about her family and Netball. She would always ask “When is the Netball back on TV?” She is another stalwart of Netball in Colac , that we have lost. Another Umpire from past years, now up there, reviewing decisions. Condolences to all.

Rest peacefully BettyJanuary 30, 2023 4:54 pm
Dear Mum/Nan thank you for all the wonderful memories we have to cherish. You always knew how to make people laugh and to enjoy life. Thank you for sharing your love of netball and being our mentor in life. I will miss our chats and debriefing after each netball game.
God made a wonderful mother, A mother who never grows old; He made her smile of the sunshine. And He moulded her heart of pure gold; In her eyes He placed bright shining stars, In her cheeks fair roses you see; God made a wonderful mother, And He that dear mother to me. Lots of love always mum, Lorraine ♥️♥️
January 30, 2023 4:11 pm
If roses grow in heaven, please pick a bunch for me. Place them in my mother’s arms, and tell her they’re from me. Tell her that I love her and miss her very much. That life for me will move on, but without her loving touch. Forever in my heart, Love you Mum. 💕💕
