Betty Kircher dies

Patonga resident Ms Betty Kircher died on Tuesday, October 4, at the age of 87.

Ms Kircher, originally from Drummoyne, was the secretary of the Combined Pensioners and Superannuants Association (CSPA) Patonga Branch and had been for 25 years.

She was awarded life membership last year in recognition of her dedication and at her funeral she was honoured with the Silver Bough Award.

For many years, she was president of the Drummoyne Branch of the Civilian Widows Association and, after retiring to the Central Coast, became an active member of the Ettalong Branch.

"Betty will be greatly missed," said CPSA Patonga branch secretary Ms Diana Perlowski.
