Vona lost her life this October after an almost 18 month battle with cancer. Till the end one of her passions was bridge. She and Alan joined Peninsula Bridge Club in 2000 and Vona last played on 3 August this year.
Her funeral was low key, family focused and attended by a large contingent of her bridge family.
Vona loved to represent the club in congresses and interclub events. She was a very good player with 830+ masterpoints and relished the challenge of playing difficult to make contracts. She was also an enthusiastic doubler always saying to the opposition: “I think I’ll give you a kiss”.
Over the years as well as representing the club Vona was a dealer, and was involved in aspects of catering and mentoring younger players.
Farewell Vona you will be missed.
