Table Tennis Victoria News Release

Vale – Vera Makaling

It is with great sadness that Table Tennis Victoria announces the passing of Vera Makaling on Friday 23 December 2016.  Vera passed way after enduring a long battle with illness.

Vera Makaling is the sister to the current CEO of Table Tennis Victoria, Dennis Makaling.  However, Vera was a junior champion in her own right having won the Victorian Open Junior U/13 Girls singles title in 1987 and 1989 (plus a string of other tournaments) before retiring from the sport at a young age.

Our thoughts are with her family and friends.  

Funeral arrangements are as follows.  

Prayers will be held in honour of Vera on Tuesday 27 December 2016 from 7 to 9 pm at the viewing suite of Tobin Brothers, 189 Boundary Road, North Melbourne.  A memorial service will be held on Wednesday 28 December 2016 at 11 am at St Mary’s Catholic Church, 116 Cecil Street, Williamstown.  A gathering will be held afterwards at a nearby venue
