Romy loved art and studied for her degree at City of fine Art (COFTA ), now UNSW Art and Design and eventually got her Masters in Fine Art.

She became a teacher on the Northern Beaches of Sydney, but for health reasons she changed to a less stressful career as an Occupational Therapist at the Narrabeen war vets home.

Romy loved the beach and the outdoors. But in 2000 she made a "tree change", when she moved to Eugowra with her husband Don, where they opened the Mandagery Art Studio.

Romy pursued her passion for art and loved nothing more than displaying her works in exhibitions.

Despite her health problems, she never let it get her down, always had a positive attitude and loved to laugh with her friends and family.

She will be greatly missed, one of a kind.
