Club supports Dotty Parker’s family

South Darwin Rugby Union Club were saddened by the lost of a long standing South Darwin Rugby Union Member, Volunteer and player, Miss Dotty Parker. Dotty is survived by her partner and three children.

On behalf of the past and present players of South Darwin Rugby Union Club, the Club will be contributing $500 to Dotty’s family to assist with the cost of her funeral.

Dotty Parker played for Souths for a number of years and was a huge part of the South Darwin Rugby Union Club. A club she loved and where she made so many longlife friends. Her friend and Club Junior Co-ordinator Judith Carne said she was was such an amazing, strong woman with a beautiful soul, and had the most infectious smile.

“Dotty was a big part of the Club and a key driver in making the South Darwin Rugby Union Club women’s team one of the more competitive sides in the competition,” said Judith Carne.

“The family is hoping to raise funds through a car wash being organised at the Beachfront Hotel this Sunday and we encourage everyone to go down and lend their support,” said Judith.

The NTRU’s first women’s match on 26 April for this season will also be in honour of Dotty. For more information on the upcoming events or to donate directly, contact Yolande on 0407 616 675.
