March 4, 2008. It is with the deepest sorrow that
we announce the untimely passing of Kristine Trulson on
March 4, 2008. She was spending time in her beloved
second home in Mau when she became extremely ill and was
hospitalized with a viral infection and pneumonia. There
are no words to express our sorrow and our loss.
Kristine became a member of the Bellevue Women’s Golf
Club in 2000. She routinely played in GSWPGA and WSWPLA
Tournaments and she will be fondly remembered by her
spirited and friendly nature. |

October 18, 2007. We are all saddened by the
passing on Thursday, October 18, 2007 of our good friend and
fellow golfer, Pat Retelle, after a long battle with
cancer. Pat was a very active member of the Bellevue
Women's Golf Club, serving as State Trustee and
Treasurer. She actively participated in City and State
Sweeps and served on the Board for both the GSWPGA and
WSWPLA. She was always willing to pitch in and help with
whatever anyone asked of her or when something needed to
get done. Her infectious laugh could be heard all over
the golf course. We will miss her very much.
