Rosanna Sonia Hille  13 June 1945 — 6 March 2026
Writer, Artist, Gardener, Chair of SDIA.

It is with deep sadness and profound gratitude that we share the passing of Rosanna Hille, who left this world peacefully on the evening of 6 March 2026, surrounded by her family.

Born on 13 June 1945, Rosanna lived a life of extraordinary breadth and quiet purpose. In the words of her daughter, Veda: “She was a writer, an artist, a gardener, a devoted mother, and the beloved matriarch of a wide-ranging family.”

To those of us in the Subud community and at Susila Dharma International Association, she was also a founding force — the elected Chair and first Executive Director of SDIA, who shaped the organization with wisdom, vision, and tireless dedication for over a decade.

In her years of illness, Rosanna met each day with the same grace and spiritual surrender that had guided her throughout her life. Her passing is a great loss, and her legacy is a great gift.

A gathering in her name will be held by her family in Vancouver and will be available online. Details to follow.

We extend our deepest love and condolences to her children and all her family and to all who had the privilege of knowing her
