Donna Louise Rousch

Donna had a huge zest for life, but the most beautiful soul has been taken from us far too soon by a deceptively angry sea on

7th March 2025 in Bali.

So far from home.

 

Beloved wife of Paul Bassett, who

Donna would call Bass.

Adored and devoted mother of

Julia and Spencer Bassett.

Treasured daughter of Nick and

Maxine Rousch,

adored sister of Nick & Leonie,

Suzanne & Kieran, Denis & Di, and a

loving aunt to their children.

Deeply loved daughter-in-law of

Carmel and the late Peter Bassett,

and dear sister-in-law of Damian & Sharon

and Nathan, and a loving

aunt to their children.

Cherished friend to many here in Canberra.

Whilst she passed far from us, she had friends on the beach who fought for her.

Our thanks to them.

 

Donna grew up in the farming community of Newlyn North, near Ballarat and Daylesford,

and is much loved in that region.

She made Canberra her home almost

20 years ago and never wanted

to be anywhere else.

We love and miss you so much.

Rest in peace.

 

The funeral service for Donna will be

held at St Jude’s Catholic Church,

Mulley Street, Holder on

Tuesday 25th March 2025,

commencing at 1:00pm.

Burial will follow at

Woden Cemetery.
