  5. Maria and I played tennis for Kiamawhen we had young children. Helping everyone with the children was what we did. Also, not to mention having tennis coaching. Maria always made it look easy to play, always looked immaculate walking off a hard match
    Our years in Kiama View Club were always fun too. RIP

  6. I played tennis with Maria on the old clay courts in Hindmarsh Park many years ago. We all had such fun and i always liked playing with Maria as she was tall and I’m short and she could always get the volleys close to the net.
    So many fond memories with Maria
    RIP
