Rosalie Nyerick

Rosalie M. Nyerick quietly passed from 89 years of this earthly life into the peace and presence of our loving God on May 4, 2015. She was a native of Bristol, CT, and resident of Baton Rouge, LA.

Rosalie was a lifelong, devoted Catholic and member of St. Patrick Church. She worked as a miscellaneous machine operator in Bristol, from the age of 15 until her choice to fully retire at the age of 80, when she moved to Baton Rouge. Always generous, she cared for relatives and friends, and sponsored children in the Big Buddy Program. She was also a Salvation Army volunteer. Rosalie served in official capacities in the United Workers Union over the years to help improve quality and benefits for factory employees. She was mostly noted for her all occasion's cakes, especially wedding cake creations, winning notoriety in published articles honoring their intricate design.

She is survived by her beloved daughter, Sharron Hosea Bickham of Baton Rouge, LA; son, Thomas Nyerick of St. Petersburg, FL; grandchildren, Cmdr. Lonnie (Deanna) Hosea of Chesapeake, VA, Dr. Stephen (Christine) Hosea, Dr. Gregory (Rena) Bickham of Baton Rouge, LA, Benjamin Bickham of Rayville, LA, Crystal, Cory, and Shera Nyerick of St. Petersburg, FL; and great grandchildren, Jenna, Camille, Matthew, MaryFrances Hosea, and Elizabeth Bickham.
