Rosemary Ruth McCue Walker, born June 1, 1922 went to join the Lord surrounded by her loving family at Mercy Medical Center on Monday November 13, 2017 at the age of 95.

Rosemary was born in Hamilton, OH to (predeceased) Edwin and Helen McCue. She graduated from Alliance High School in 1940 and then Mercy Medical School of Nursing in 1942 as a registered nurse and served in the United States Army Nurse Corps as a 2nd Lieutenant during World War II. Rosemary met her beloved husband John "Jack" Walker in the service and later married on February 3, 1947 in Alliance, OH.

Jack and Rosemary moved to Hicksville, NY, where they raised their three beautiful children. She continued her nursing career for 44 years, along with being a member of St. Paul the Apostle R. C. Church, offering care and comfort to close neighbors and the community. Rosemary was a traveler and connected with parishes wherever she resided and jokingly described herself as a "Roaming Catholic".
