Sr. Rosemary is from from Amata, Mgbowo in Awgu, Enugu State, Nigeria. She is a small bundle of fun! On first impression she is just someone who is brimming over with energy and enjoying her life and work.
She comes from a family of six children, three boys and three girls. She is the fourth in line. At present all her siblings are alive and well but both her parents are now deceased.

Rosemary always wanted to be a religious Sister. Her family were all devoted Catholics, and she grew up joining many church groups. She took the decision to enter religious life, but her older sister persuaded her to do Accountancy first. Perhaps the sister wanted her to have a back-up plan. Rosemary says she was also interested in quantity surveying at this time. So, Rosemary studied for her Diploma in Accountancy and had her work experience in a bank.

Again, it was family influence that led her to MMM. She told one of her cousins about wanting to join religious life. He encouraged her to join MMM, telling her that there is where she will be happy. He narrated how he visited MMM and how they showed him hospitality. They were joyful and would not misunderstand her sense of humour!

Since joining MMM, Sr. Rosemary has done more professional studies in Accountancy and has been involved in hospital and clinic administration ever since. She has worked in Angola for over ten years, the Republic of Benin for three years, and in many hospitals and clinics in Nigeria – Abakaliki, Urua Akpan, Fuka, Abuja. She is presently working in the Family Life Centre VVF Hospital, Itam, as the Hospital Administrator since 2020.
Sr. Rosemary enjoys life! She enjoys her community and missionary life and working with and for other people is life-giving. In her spare time, she enjoys needle work, listening to music and singing, praying/ meditating on the scriptures and nature, dancing, reading, and admiring nature through plants and animals.

Sr. Rosemary is a joyful, happy person in each community where she has lived. It is always a pleasure to be around her.
Life has taught her two things:
1. There are a lot of good things in stock for everyone.
2. All we need is patience, what doesn’t happen today must surely happen tomorrow, as long as there is life.
