She was born July 2, 1931, to the late Edwin and Isabella (Lock) Haslag in Loose Creek.
She was a 1949 graduate of Loose Creek High School and later graduated from Depaul Hospital School of nursing in 1956 as a registered nurse.
Rosemarie was united in marriage to Ronald Oscar Turner Dec. 13, 1958, in San Antonio, Texas.
She was employed at St. Mary’s Health Center from September 1956 until her retirement in June of 1999. In 1963, Rosemarie became the first lay supervisor and began her career as a registered nurse. She would eventually serve as Director of Nursing and Director of Customer Services.
