T&T netballer Sonia Jack yesterday lost her battle with cancer.
The 34-year-old national goalkeepr and shooter passed away at the Port of Spain General Hospital where she has been ailing for the past few months.
The police officer was diagnosed with the disease last November after complaining of stomach problems.
She had a number of surgeries done on her to rid her of the cancer but it was unsuccessful.
Jack is the second "Calypso Girl" in the past nine months to have her life cut short. In June, T&T netball shooting star Lystra " Twinkle Toes" Zamore- Sheppard died at the Port of Spain General Hospital after a short illness.
Jack represented T&T at the World Netball Championships in New Zealand in 2007 when T&T finished 11th. She was also a member of the 2003 team that placed 10th in the World event in Jamaica.
The last local club she represented was Police which competes in the Port of Spain Netball League (POSNL) and the Courts All Sectors Netball League (ASNL). In her 19-year netball career the six-footer had made contributions on a number of teams including the Mucurapo Senior Secondary (now called East Mucurapo) in the Secondary Schools Netball League, Soul City, Central Bank, Fire and the International Communication (ICN).
The ever-lasting beauty leaves to mourn her three daughters. Rest in Peace Sonia, you will surely be missed.
