Sylvia Sandeman
Sylvia Sandeman (1941 – 2025) was a vital community anchor and choir member across multiple congregations, including ours, Rosanna Baptist Church, and St Kilda Baptist Church, often all at the same time. Sylvia was a healthcare pioneer, joining Cabrini Hospital in Malvern, Victoria in 1976 as one of its foundational radiographers. Across a 34-year career at Cabrini, she helped pioneer the hospital's first advancements in CT and MRI medical imaging. She built deep ties with the Cabrini sisters (nuns) and was uniquely chosen to represent their Catholic assembly at an international conference in New York.
