VALE. PAT CONQUEST
Pat was a loved and respected member and valued contributor to Rotary Central Melbourne (then Central Melbourne Sunrise). She died last week from dementia-related illnesses.
Pat was one of the earliest female members of our club and is remembered with fondness for her lively and happy disposition. Rotary was good to her, she married another Central Melbourne member Lou Butterfield. They retired to the peninsula where they enjoyed a vineyard setting and were active in Probus for several years before health became an issue for both of them. Farewell Pat.
