Biography
Isabel Roberta St Margaret Donald née Suter, sketcher, was born on 25 August 1914 at Sandringham, Victoria, to Robert John Suter, a farmer, and Emily née Birtwistle Owen. Isabel, or Bobby as she preferred to be called, attended school at Quambatook in country Victoria then went in to service for 12 months until she was old enough to go in to nursing. She completed Division 1 Registered Nurse training at the Royal Melbourne Hospital in April 1939. She enlisted for army service with the 2/8 Australian General Hospital on 25 September 1942 and served in New Guinea. Her service number was VX108173. Bobby was a talented artist and writer. While serving in New Guinea she completed a book of sketches depicting the every day life of a nurse. This book was eventually donated to the Australian War Memorial in Canberra. Bobby married late in life at age 38 in 1952 and had only one child, Robert. In the early years of their marriage, Bobbie and her husband Robert ran a private nursing home in Toorak. They eventually moved to Cairns in Queensland where Bobbie had time to devote to her passion of painting. Following Robert Snr’s death, she and Robert Jnr returned to Melbourne to the security of family support. Bobbie had quite a long battle with breast cancer and eventually died on 26 May 1995.
