In memory of Rowena Dunk

By Roslyn Dunk

In loving memory of Rowena Dunk, please donate to the Flying Doctor.

Rowena passed away on 3 August, 2024 aged 82 years. Most of her final year was spent in hospital recovering from injuries sustained in a car accident and then battling advanced pancreatic cancer.  

During this time, the support given by Rowena's extended family, friends, work colleagues and neighbours was invaluable. Rowena's immediate family cannot thank them enough for their assistance during this time of difficulty and sorrow. 

In order to acknowledge a number of occasions (see below) where Rowena either worked in conjunction with RFDS or received services as a patient, n lieu of flowers. donations can be made to the RFDS.

-1965: worked as a pharmacist with BCA & in conjunction with RFDS in Ceduna.

-mid 1972: received services as a patient on several occasions in Central Australia. 

-2004: provided with transport to medical appointments in Adelaide. 

Any donations will help create an ongoing legacy and this will act as a fitting tribute that will make a huge difference in remote, rural and regional communities.

The Royal Flying Doctor Service reaches more than 330,000 Australians with 24-hour emergency retrieval and primary health care. That’s one person every two minutes.

Dear Roz, We're sending much love to you and your family. I didn't realise your mum had these connections to RFDS. My dad was a flying doctor out of Broken Hill in the early '60s, and a friend now works as one out of Port Augusta. Such a wonderful legacy by which to now remember your mum. Go well Rowena...
