It is with great sadness that we advise of the passing of Krista Foale.
Krista attended Heathfield High School alongside several Mt Lofty club members and was heavily involved with the Heathfield Netball Club. Krista’s husband Malcolm (known as Fuji or Mal) and son Jack, both played for Mt Lofty. Malcolm joined Mt Lofty as a junior in 1967 and played until 1987. Jack began as an Auskicker and played until Under 15s when he made the difficult decision to retire.
Krista was a Life Member of the Heathfield Netball Club and contributed much to the club, including as a committee member for 12 years, umpiring, coaching and running the canteen for several years. These details are contained in a beautiful post to the Netball Club’s Facebook page, which also noted “Krista’s happy disposition and effervescent personality will be missed by her many friends at the club”.
The Lofty Legends Group and The Mt Lofty District Football Club express our sincere condolences to Malcolm (Fuji), Eloise, Maddi and Jack. The thoughts of the club are with Krista’s family and friends at this difficult time.
