Rosalie Devlin, the widow of Dr. Andrew Devlin, Ob/Gyn, passed away in Pullman on April 9, 2022, with family at her side. She was 98 years old.
Born on February 22, 1924, in Evansville, Indiana, Rosalie grew up in a devout Roman Catholic family that cherished and practiced their faith every day. She graduated from Reitz Memorial High School and after business training, worked as a secretary for the Boy Scouts of America's office.
In 1944, at a moment in time typical of The Greatest Generation, Rosalie met a young medic from Spokane, Andy Devlin, at a Catholic USO dance in Evansville. They wed on July 30, 1945.
In the busy years that followed Rosalie taught herself how to design dresses, knit sweaters, garden, cook, and most of all create a loving home, based on the Catholic faith in God that never failed her.
Later, with children grown and off to college, there was time to be a Cougar Booster, serve as an officer of the Sacred Heart Altar Society, the Hospital Auxiliary, join a quilting group, enjoy classic films and read books, and snuff bottle shopping.
Rosalie faced Andy's declining health with fortitude and love.
After his death in 1998 she joined Curves (her workout friends called her their "role model"), the Merry Widows' lunch group, traveled to the US with Susan and Rob, and internationally with Drew and Ruth to Paris, St. Petersburg; Taipei, Prague and Hong Kong. Rosalie also supported her church, a variety of missions, and worthy causes.
Rosalie was the loving grandmother of twelve grandchildren and eleven great-grandchildren. Her generosity of spirit and wry humor will be missed.
Rosalie was preceded in death by her husband, parents Stephen and Martha Zimmer, her brothers, Bernard Zimmer, and Jerome Zimmer, and her sister Frances Poelhuis.
