Sr. Rosemary was born in Borden, Indiana, to Joseph and Mary Koetter Huber on Aug. 3, 1921. She had four sisters and six brothers; four of her siblings have pre-deceased her. Sr. Rosemary graduated from the Academy of the Immaculate Conception at the Benedictine Monastery in Ferdinand, Indiana, in 1949.

She took her final vows at Maryknoll in Ossining, N.Y., on Sept. 8, 1962.

In 1963, Sr. Rosemary received her Bachelor of Science in Education from Mary Rogers College and went on to receive a master’s degree in hospital administration from St. Louis University the following year, with a residency in Michigan from 1964-1965.

Sr. Rosemary’s first assignment was in Pusan, Korea, in 1965. There, she worked in the Maryknoll Hospital and in the Cooperative Education Institute in Seoul, developing credit unions as paths out of poverty.

Sr. Rosemary briefly did medical-pastoral work on a mission in Aileu, East Timor, in 1991, before returning to the Maryknoll Sisters Center in 1992 to serve as Center healthcare administrator for five years. Her passion for inter-religion dialogue then brought her to Nepal, where she was elected to the Monastic Inter-Religious Dialogue Group in Kathmandu, worked in administration at Patan Hospital and taught English at a local high school. She also briefly worked in Congregational Service as a staff writer in the development department, before being assigned to Monrovia as a coordinator until 2010.
