It is with a heavy heart that I inform our members of the passing of my sister Anne.

Anne joined the RAN in the mid 50's and paid off as a Chief Radio Supervisor. We lost her to cancer yesterday morning.

Anne built up a large circle of friends over the years as she was heavily involved with the Black Sheep Breeders Association, the Spinners and Weavers Association and still kept in touch with quite a few of her old Navy buddies.

She will be laid to rest in Melbourne next Monday.
