Rosie (as she was known by those who knew her best) was born on July 24, 1923, in Washta, Iowa, to George and Emily (Baker) Needs. She grew up in Washta and attended Washta Consolidated School where she graduated in 1941. After graduation, she worked at Mental Health in Cherokee, Iowa as a domestic, guiding the residents as they worked.
She was united in marriage to Vern E. Walker on March 10, 1944 in Sioux City. They made their home on a farm near Moville until they moved into town. One son, Bruce Vern, was born to this union on Feb. 17, 1958. Vern passed away on Jan. 10, 1976 in Sioux City. After his passing, Rosie worked at several jobs. She was a tour guide for Allied Tours and a hostess at McCulloch Funeral Home in Moville.
She enjoyed being a member of the Elder Berry Dancers. They once shared their talent at the Iowa State Fair, winning first place. Her son, Bruce, passed away in Minocua, Wisconsin on Nov. 22, 1995. Rosie was a very busy lady, owning and running a mobile home park for 47 years. She worked at the church where she raised thousands of dollars for the Heifer Project and counted and banked the Sunday offering every Monday.
