A candlelight vigil was hosted at the Beaufort Golf and Bowls Club in memory of 87-year-old Ethel Glenister, who died in hospital following a bus crash near Avoca.
Twenty-nine bowlers had been returning from the Dot Jenkinson Ladies Pairs when the bus rolled off the Sunraysia Highway.
Creswick woman Carmel Mitchell was also killed in the crash.
A vigil was also hosted for Mrs Mitchell at the Buninyong Bowls Club early last week.
Air ambulances, Victoria Police and Country Fire Authority crews attended the incident.
An Alfred Hospital spokesperson said one patient remained in a stable condition on Monday.
Mrs Glenister was a former president, secretary and club champion at the Beaufort Gold and Bowls Club.
Club president Lester Harris said on Sunday she was a popular player with good humour and good sportsmanship.
