Rosemond was born the fourth and last child of Bernard Martin and Margaret Louise (Parker) Worland on Feb. 18, 1917 in Houston Texas. She was baptized Rose Marcella on March 4th, 1917. At the age of three her family moved to a farm in Kansas where she attended schools in Nortonville, Axtell, Seneca and Topeka, where she graduated from High School.

After High School Rosemond entered St. Mary’s College at Leavenworth with her sister Julia, hoping to pursue a nursing degree. But at the end of the first semester she decided that hers was a vocation to prayer instead of nursing. Having learned of Clyde “where sisters pray all the time,” she felt a call to enter there and did so at the age of seventeen. She made her first vows on February 6, 1937, and received the name of Cassilda.

During her grade school years Rosemond learned to play the piano and this talent was enlarged upon when Sr. Angela Bueche gave her organ lessons after Profession. During her many years in the monastery she worked in the printery and altar bread departments, as well as being portress and sacristan, all the while contributing to the liturgy through her talent as an organist.

Sister returned to her baptismal name of Rose Marcella in 1967. Being an organist, she was often transferred wherever needed.

Sister went to Tucson in 1984 and remained there for some years, retiring from the organ but continuing to be active in gardening. She loved roses and associated them with her love of the Sacred Heart. In her last years Sr. Rose Marcella was transferred to the Health Care Center in St. Louis where she remained until her death on Sept. 17, 2000.
