We mourn the passing of MONICA LOVELL
(31 May 1946 – 13 November 2024)
The Board and members of the Sorell Bowls and Community Club are saddened by the passing of Monica Lovell. Monica started her bowling career playing Indoor Bowls at Sorell. After retirement she played Ladies Thursday Pennant.
Monica won the Indoor Singles in 1988, 1989, 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995 and 2000! Monica also won the Ladies Pairs in 1990 and 1991 with her mother-in-law Betty Lovell, and also won the Ladies Consistency in the same years.
After joining Sandy Bay Bowls Club, Monica represented Tasmania several times and was a member of the Southern Tasmanian Ladies team many times.
Monica was a very active club member at Sorell, working towards funding for the kitchen and club house equipment. In later years Monica was a regular donator to Ladies Raffles and Trade Tables.
Monica’s pennant bowling career started at Sorell and ended at Sorell but she played for Sandy Bay, Beltana and Howrah in between! Monica was a champion bowler who was always willing to help new bowlers. She was dedicated and very generous. Our thoughts are with Lindsay. Rest in Peace, Monica.
