03 FEB 2025 - VALE KATHY Lloyd

Sadly, Kathy passed away on the 27/01/2025 after a sudden and aggressive return of her cancer. Having managed to overcome it twice before, this time it was not to be. Although through her various treatments and operations she kept on training and rowing.

Kathy loved nothing more than to launch out onto the peaceful waters of Lake Wendouree in her scull and just enjoy the rowing. She made her contribution to women’s rowing in Ballarat, Victoria and Australia and was the consummate club person pitching in and doing whatever needed doing.

She was a loyal and valued member and will be missed greatly. Read more about Kathy's journey via the link below.
