On Sunday, September 21, 2025, the family of Di Bembrick, a much loved registered nurse and midwife, gathered with friends and colleagues at the Cowra Hospital Memorial Rose Garden to plant a rose in her memory.
The chosen variety, a pure white “Iceberg” rose, now stands as a living tribute to Di’s dedication to caring for others and her long service to the nursing profession.
The planting was a moving occasion, with family members Brett, Tristen and Mitch Bembrick present for the ceremony, joined by fellow nurses and members of the Cowra community.
Those who attended reflected not only on Di’s professional life, where she was known for her kindness, compassion and skill as both a nurse and midwife, but also on her deep connections within the community and the many lives she touched.
The Memorial Garden at Cowra Hospital continues to serve as a place of remembrance for staff, patients, and families.
