A long time member of the New Plymouth Contract Bridge Club, Marie's absence from the card table will be missed by all players, and in particular by her regular playing partners. A very cheerful member of our Club, she was also heavily involved in the New Plymouth community, and in particular enjoyed the time she spent with her family, particularly her grandchildren.
