She lived a happy, active and fulfilling life to the age of 89 years, 7 months and 25 days. Rosemary attended rural school and then graduated from the Churdan High School in the class of 1944. She attended Iowa State Teachers College in Cedar Falls, Iowa. After obtaining her teacher’s degree, she returned to Churdan and taught in rural schools in Greene and Calhoun counties. On February 3, 1948, Rosemary Monahan was united in marriage to Philip “Bud” Minnehan at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church in Lohrville.

In 1962, Rosemary was diagnosed with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. Over the years, as she battled this disease, Rosemary would return to Rochester for treatment for Lupus and related ailments that afflicted her body but never dampened her spirit. Rosemary lived a determined and full life, lovingly raising her family, and consistently volunteering in the community, being active in CDA, Rosary Society, CCW and 20th Century Club. Her love of God and church was proven with her active involvement at St. Columbkille and St. Patrick churches. At retirement, Bud and Rosie liked to travel and especially enjoyed trips to California, Florida and Alaska. They also spent many winters in Arizona.
