Rosemary Courchene Holden

  General Notes:

This may have been the relative that mom was named after. She may have been a nurse, but I cannot confirm that. I think she lived in Arizona and her death certificate is from Nevada

In 1936 She was living in Albuquerque with her husband Don Holden

Fred & her were cousins

Confirmed thru obituary; mom says she was named after a relative named Rosemary who was a nurse.
