Nation mourns Dame Roma
The former South Australian Governor, Dame Roma Mitchell, whose brilliant career blazed a trail for modern women, will be given a state funeral in recognition of her outstanding life.
Dame Roma, 86, died just before noon yesterday after a short illness. She was in good health until a month ago when she sought treatment for back pain and was diagnosed with terminal bone cancer.
