The Avoca Football Netball Club is posting this photo in honour of Ella Carey (centre) who passed away this week. The photo was taken at Ella’s 90th birthday last year.
Ella is pictured in this photo with two of her sisters, Alma Field, and Amy Wardlaw who along with another sister Bessy Field, were all club stalwarts and Ladies Committee legends.
Ella, Alma, Amy and Bessy, were all tireless workers for the Avoca Football Netball Club in the good old days, when the Ladies Committee worked the kitchen all day at the footy and then would cater for club functions at night. The Ladies looked forward to the Cabaret Ball where they would cook a meal and with the assistance of the junior netballers, would cater on the tables for those in attendance.
All of these ladies were great supporters who would always be on the fence cheering on the players whenever they got the opportunity to do so. Particularly when the Bulldogs played away, as there were no kitchen duties to tend to at away games.
You could always hear these ladies supporting their team even if you were down the other end of the ground as they were all blessed with great voice.
It is very sad news to hear of Ella’s passing and condolences are passed on to the family members.
