Passing of Beth Wilson

Dear Residents,

Our Currigee community will be further saddened to learn that Beth Wilson passed away at her home in Ascot this morning. She and Blair build their home on the island more than 50 years ago and over this period thousands of guests have been warmly welcomed by Wilson hospitality. As was her custom every year, Beth spent this past Christmas and New Year at the island, and was present at the awards ceremony on New Year’s Day to proudly accept the Currigee Cup! She left the island only last Friday. Our best wishes to the Wilson Clan in the loss of this extraordinary person

 

Kind regards,

 

The Committee

Cliff Thompson has asked me to pass on the sad news of Ossie Fishcher’s passing. Ossie passed away on the weekend at the age of 92 from complications after recent surgeries.

Ossie has been a long term resident of Milton and Currigee and will be greatly missed by all. Our thoughts and sympathy are with his family at this time.

Ossie’s funeral will be held at 2pm this Wednesday (15th January 2014) at Centenary Memorial Gardens, Wacol Station Road, Sumner Park. Details will be in tomorrow’s newspaper.
