Tribute to the Late Rosemary Howard
This weekend our Netball Club will wear black armbands in memory of Life Member, Rosemary Howard.
Rosemary devoted decades to netball and to our local community, beginning with the Geranium Netball Club where she became a Life Member in 1985. Over the years she was a player, coach, umpire, office bearer, fundraiser and passionate supporter of generations of local netballers.
Her commitment to the club went far beyond the court. Rosemary was always willing to lend a hand, help organise events, support fundraising efforts and make sure the club remained strong for future players.
Even after the closure of the Geranium Club, her love of netball continued through supporting players at Parilla, Peake and eventually Mallee Districts Storm, where she remained a familiar face on the sidelines enjoying the game she loved so much.
Rosemaryโs contribution to netball and our local community over almost 60 years will not be forgotten.
Our thoughts are with her family and friends. ๐ฉท๐ฉต๐ค
