Sister Rosemary Keough, 81, an Ursuline Sister of Mount Saint Joseph, died Saturday, Nov. 21, 2020, at Owensboro Health, in her 63rd year of religious life. She was a native of Auburn, N.Y.
Sister Rosemary had a missionary’s heart, and though she loved all of her ministries, her favorite was the 18 years she spent empowering Hispanics through Centro Latino (2000-2018).
She was a teacher at St. Sebastian School, Calhoun (1962-64) and Mount Saint Joseph Academy, Maple Mount (1969-76, 1980-82). She worked with the Contemporary Woman Program and Student Support Services at Brescia College (1988-93) then came to the Motherhouse as director of activities and liturgy (1993-99.) She also served in Louisville, Nebraska, New Mexico and Chile.
Survivors include the members of her religious community and siblings Sara Scully and John Roger Keough, both of Shepherdsville, and Thomas Patrick Keough Jr., Westmont, Ill.
