She was born on May 27, 1929, to the late Jere O. & Myrtle (Corbin) Goodman, in Linton, IN.

Rosemarie attended school at Linton up until her family moved to Maine. Shortly after, they moved again, this time to Logansport, IN. She was a member of the 1947 graduating class of Logansport High School. It was there she met her first husband, Walter V. Beecher.
