Rosemary Nada (12 May 1944 - 30 Sep 2018)

Such sad news. We first met around 1987 in KSA and later on in UAE.

Rosemary and I met when I too was working in the Renal Unit at Nottingham City Hospital. We were both nursing sisters then and I believe worked at a time that was truly pioneering. We were there for the first kidney transplant performed at the City and for the “new age” dialysis machine called a Redy. We worked hard but found time as dear Linda said to have fun and laughter in our busy work day. Rosie and I became fast friends and I remember speeding along in her Triumph TR6. Oh we were so cool! In 1976 I moved to the USA for work and adventure and this is now my home. But Rosie and I never lost touch. We shared letters, emails, birthday, Thanksgiving and Christmas cards. I am going to miss you, dear Rosie. I thank you for your friendship and memories of both work and play. Good bye sweet lady. Rest peacefully. It was too soon. Love Sue.

I had the good fortune of working with Rosemary many years ago on the Renal Unit at Nottingham City hospital We were not only colleagues but became good friends too A truly lovely lady who was always professional in her work I will remember her with affection and for the many laughs we shared ( it didn't take much to set us off!) Rest in peace dear Rosie and thankyou for the memories Much love Lynda xxx❤️

I worked with Rosemary for many years on Mayflowe ward at Derriford hospital until I retired December 2017 and I am now a funeral minister which I love. I was a ward administrator on mayflower ward. Rosemary wast a first class nurse a wise owl and didn’t suffer fools lightly. She was a lovely caring lady who took her vocation very seriously old school You might say she use to say that we were cut from the same cloth. We shared a mutual colleague/friend in Ellen who lives in Australia. I was really saddened to hear of Rosemary’s passing she will be sadly missed. After all your years of hard work Rosemary may you now rest in peace God Bless a life well lived. Linda Dodwell

God bless you Rosie posie I will miss our chats, our giggles and moans xx
