It is with great sadness and deep shock that Eintracht Walsum says farewell to Roswitha Wylezol, who passed away completely unexpectedly.

“Hardly anyone has shaped youth football in Walsum as much as Roswitha.” Until the very end, she remained an active and highly valued member of the club’s committee, always supporting Eintracht with her advice, dedication, and unwavering commitment.

For more than 25 years, Roswitha was closely connected to Eintracht Walsum and its predecessor club, SG Wacker Walsum, serving in a variety of important roles. Among others, she worked as Managing Director and Head of Youth Development, playing a key role in building and shaping the club’s youth department. Beyond the club itself, she was also passionately involved in the district sports association, where she tirelessly supported youth football.

Roswitha also represented Eintracht Walsum with great dedication within the Youth Leaders Association of Dinslaken/Voerde/Walsum. In recognition of her many years of outstanding service, she was awarded the association’s Silver Merit Badge in 2011.

Until recently, Roswitha continued to contribute her experience and commitment as an advisory board member, supporting the current youth board in many important matters. “At our meetings, she was a trusted advisor. With her calm nature, kindness, and extensive knowledge, she was a tremendous source of support to all of us. We will miss her dearly,” said the youth board.

With the passing of Roswitha Wylezol, Eintracht Walsum has lost not only a deeply dedicated club member, but above all a truly special person who shaped our club for decades.

We will always honor her memory.
