Rosemary Myers, 87, of Amery, WI, passed away peacefully surrounded by loved ones on Wednesday, October 5th, 2022.

Rosemary’s life is celebrated as a Mother, wife, daughter, sister, and friend. Mender of bodies and souls to the end. Beloved of Christ, faithful and sure. With devotion to God that will ever endure. Kind servant on earth for questioning minds. Compassion for all leaving no one behind. A treasure, a smile, prevailing in life. A joyful survivor through sorrow and strife. A teacher of wisdom – you’ve answered God’s call. He placed you on earth to share you with all (Mary Ann Christensen Habash, 2003).

Rosemary was born on July 8th, 1935, to Harold and Angela Sullivan in Minneapolis, MN, moving back to Two Harbors, MN, six years later. After graduating from Two Harbors High School in 1953, Rosemary went on to study nursing at St. Scholastica in Duluth, MN, enjoying a career for over 40+ years as a Registered Nurse.

After graduation, Rosemary landed her first job as a nurse at St Mary’s Hospital in Duluth, MN, and then at the University of Minnesota Hospitals. Two years later, in 1959, Rosemary and David moved to Amery, WI, beginning a successful 40+ year career in nursing.
