  4. Dorothy was always known as “Sunny” in the urology community. Suntanned, but especially for her personality. An outstanding theatre nurse, and first of the specialty urology nurses. An anchor in the development of Ballarat Urology, and loved by all the staff. Sympathy to her family on their sudden loss. May memories of her smile and sparkling eyes stay with you.
