Annette’s dedication and commitment to the club over the years made her an integral part of the Winstanley Park cricket family, and her loss is deeply felt by all who knew her.
Annette was not only a passionate supporter of the game but also a constant presence on match days, ensuring that scores were recorded accurately and efficiently. Her unwavering commitment behind the scenes played a vital role in the smooth running of the team, and her enthusiasm and positivity were a source of inspiration to players and fellow volunteers alike.
Beyond her contributions to the club, Annette was a loving mother to her daughter Ellie and a beloved friend to many within the community. Her warmth, kindness, and generosity of spirit left a lasting impression on everyone she met. Whether cheering on the team from the scorer’s box or offering words of encouragement to players of all ages, Annette embodied the values and spirit of Winstanley Park Cricket Club.
Her presence, dedication, and friendship will be sorely missed, and her legacy within the club will be remembered for years to come.
On behalf of all members, players, and volunteers, the club extends its deepest condolences to Annette’s family, especially her daughter Ellie, during this profoundly difficult time.
