We are saddened by the death of Judy Feldman, age 82.
Judy passed away on Monday at Arbor Rose Memory Care Home in
Monticello IL. Judy and husband Victor, who died in 2018, were
active players at Ginger Creek for many years. Our sympathies go
out to Judy's family, including her brother and sister-in-law,
Bob and Sherry Steigmann.
We received sad news about the passing of former Ginger Creek
player Paul Soper, age 70. Paul was an accomplished
player who had almost 5000 masterpoints. He moved to Sierra
Vista AZ about 20 years ago and was active in bridge clubs
there. His wife, Joann, reported that he was diagnosed with
congestive heart failure in January and died at home on March
12.
