In 2016 she was inducted into the Singapore Women's Hall of Fame, maintained by the Singapore Council of Women's Organisations.[1] Personal lifeAlice Patterson was of Japanese and Scottish descent, and married Lancelot Maurice Pennefather in 1919 when she was 16 years old. They had two sons, Ashton and Percy, and the latter captained Singapore in Field hockey at the 1956 Summer Olympics. Percy's daughter Annabel became the first woman on the Singapore National Olympic Council and first female president of the Singapore Hockey Federation.[1] When Annnabel was awarded Her Worlds "Woman of the Year" in 2004 she spoke of her grandmother as "her role model for life" and "a strong sporty woman".[2] Alice and Lancelot celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary in 1979, at which time she was still in employment as a section head at Shaw's Rentals. Asked about the secret of a happy marriage she said "Love, tolerance and understanding", and advised any new bride to "Give in to your husband even if he's wrong or you're angry. You'll find life more pleasant."[3] Lancelot died in 1982, and Alice in 1983.[1] Sporting careerPennefather won the Singaporean National Badminton Championships women's singles in 1931, 1932, 1934 and 1937. In 1931 she also won the women's doubles title, with Maude Lewis, and in 1947 and 1951 she won the mixed doubles. She was also Singapore Ladies Tennis Champion in 1936, 1937 and 1938, and the first non-European to win that title.[1] Pennefather played hockey for the Girls' Sports Club, captaining the team from 1931 to 1958 (except during the Japanese occupation of Singapore, 1941-1945).[1] The Jansenites Hockey Club began at her home in Jansen Road, and celebrated its 35th anniversary with a magazine in which she was said to have been described as "Physically and character wise she was a towering person, always full of love". She was also a "leading player" of netball.[4] At its 50th anniversary celebrations the Girls' Sports Club (GSC) named Alice Pennefather as "The Outstanding Playing Member of the GSC".[1] She was commonly referred to as "The Grand Old Lady of Sport".[1][4] References1. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 {{cite web |title=Alice Pennefather |url=https://www.swhf.sg/profiles/alice-edith-wilhelmina-pennefather/ |website=The Honored Inductees to the Singapore Women's Hall of Fame |publisher=Singapore Council of Women's Organisations |accessdate=8 November 2018}} 2. ^{{cite web |title=2004 Annabel Pennefather Her World Woman of the Year |url=https://womanoftheyear.herworld.com/2004-annabel-pennefather |publisher=SPH Magazines |accessdate=8 November 2018}} 3. ^{{cite news |title=Diamond Wedding |url=http://pennyfather.one-name.net/getperson.php?personID=I858&tree=Pennyfather |accessdate=8 November 2018 |work=Straits Times |date=3 March 1979}} 4. ^1 {{cite news |title=Breaking through barriers: inspiring Eurasian women: Anabel Pennefather |url=http://www.eurasians.org.sg/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/24-EA-Mag_apr-jun_v12-FINAL.pdf |accessdate=8 November 2018 |work=The New Eurasian |date=April-June 2014 |page=10}} External links
