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. Click on photos for enlargement.  Photos courtesy WSWPLA and Libbie Seale
