Betty Evans

Betty passed away on 31 March 2012 at home after a courageous battle with lung cancer. She was born in Holland in the mid 1940s and came to Australia with her parents when she was 8 years old. Her chosen career was teaching until her retirement. Her other many interests and passion included swimming, fishing, photography, travelling, property investment and Bridge. She is survived by her mother, son and partner.

Betty had been a member of WABC for over 15 years and South Perth Bridge Club for a couple of years. She played Bridge at least three times a week until her illness forced her to reduce that to once a week towards the end of last year. Nothing reflected her passion for the game more than her participation in the WABC Novice Pairs Congress on 25th March despite the advanced stage of her illness. Betty was overwhelmed by the love and support offered to her by WABC members and Directors during her illness. Words could not possibly adequately express her extreme gratitude to you all.

“Life is a great big canvas, and you should throw all the paint you can on it.”

Betty certainly did
