With profound sadness, we share the news of the passing of a cherished Ystradowen club member, Deborah Hill. Deborah passed away peacefully on Saturday, 31 May, after a thankfully brief illness. She will be deeply missed by all who knew her.

Deb’s unwavering optimism, boundless enthusiasm, and playful sense of humour lit up Ystradowen club and league gatherings over the past few years. Together with Adrian, she brought renewed energy to our activities and quickly formed lasting friendships with everyone she met—within our club, in the League, and at WPA novice events.

On behalf of the WPA, our hearts and thoughts are with Adrian, Ellie, Joel, and all of Deborah’s family at this sad time. We also extend our deepest sympathies to everyone at Ystradowen Petanque Club, where Deborah will always hold a special place in their hearts and memories.
