WDF TREASURER DELLA FLEETWOOD HAS PASSED AWAY
It is my sad duty to inform you all that WDF Treasurer Della Fleetwood
has passed away, she was 66 years old.
Della was a truly wonderful person whom it was impossible not to like.
Her efficiency was renowned and her energy boundless. Della was
involved with the WDF from “day one” and for many years assisted her
husband Tom with the WDF finances. When Tom passed away in 2001
Della took over his role as WDF Treasurer, a task she carried out in an
accomplished and very professional manner. No task was too great and
no detail was too small for Della.
In addition to her duties as WDF Treasurer Della also found time to
organise her own tournament, the Las Vegas Open, which is one of the
largest and most popular events in the ADO calendar.
Della was also actively involved in work with charitable organisations
and at her local centre for child abuse. In short, Della always put
everyone else first and herself last.
I first met Della more than 25 years ago, and over the years she became
a very close friend. Della was always a realist, a wise confidant and
advisor who never, ever, let me down. Della was a very special person
who will be greatly missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her.
Rest in Peace Della, the World is a poorer place without you.
