Vale Betty Davidson

Western Suburbs District Cricket Club Sydney | July 06, 2023

Everyone connected with the Western Suburbs District Cricket Club is saddened by the loss of one our nearest and dearest, Betty Davidson, who passed away peacefully on Saturday 1 July 2023.

The late Alan Davidson AM MBE and Betty were married for seventy years.

Such a formidable combination, with Betty at Alan’s side as they organised functions and Alan conducted his duties as President of Cricket NSW over a period of 33 years.

Prior to that, during Alan’s illustrious cricket career, Betty was the rock their family was built on as Alan toured the world.

Always bright and cheerful, Betty Davidson made an impression on all she met. We’re all better people for knowing her.

She was a good judge of horse flesh, carefully scanning the form and almost inevitably seeing her $1- selections get home each Saturday.

Rest in a well-deserved peace, Betty Davidson.

You will always be in our thoughts and prayers.
