Rosemary Ann Burbach was born on January 6, 1927 in Hartington, NE to Julius and Theresa (Schmidt) Burbach. She grew up in Hartington, NE.  Rosemary was united in marriage to Emery White Sr. in 1979 at St. Anthony's Catholic Church, Denver, CO. They lived in Colorado for four years before moving to Sisseton, SD for one year.  Then they moved to Salt Lake City, Utah where Emery got his masters degree at the University of Utah. Rosemary worked as an RN at the VA Medical Center for two years in Salt Lake City, Utah. They moved back to Sisseton in 1986.  Rosemary worked at the IHS Hospital as their director of Nurses for many years. She donated her time at the Tekakwitha Living Center, doing morning prayers with residents, and sometimes one on one prayers, and when needed she filled in for the Father. When Rosemary very first heard the Dakota drum groups sing she fell in love with them. Rosemary was an artist.  Rosemary passed away at her home on December 14, 2022.
