Biography

[edit]

Formerly Maureen Ross, she took the surname of fellow international player Ian Hume, whom she lived with and played under the name Maureen Hume.[2]

Hume played badminton out of Glasgow[3] and won the first of her three singles titles at Scottish National Badminton Championships in 1968.[4]

Hume was a Scottish international[5] and represented her nation in world tournaments including the Uber Cup.[6] She won the 1969 East of Scotland title defeating Joanna Flockhart in the final[7][8] and reached the final again the following year.[9] In November 1969 she was selected for the Scottish Commonwealth Games trials.[10]

Hume subsequently represented the Scottish team[11] at the 1970 British Commonwealth Games in Edinburgh, Scotland,[12] competing in the badminton events.[13]

On 21 October 1971 Hume was killed in the Clarkston explosion.[14] At the time of her death she was living at 51 Busby Road in Clarkston and had earned 15 Scottish caps from 1966 to 1971.[1]
