Rosemarie "Marie" Dodd served with U.S. Navy WAVES (Women Accepted for Volunteer Emergency Service) from 1944 to 1946 .
Rosemarie "Marie" Spagnola Dodd graduated from Scienceville High School in Youngstown, Ohio, and then worked briefly in a defense plant. She enlisted in the WAVES in the spring of 1944 and was sent to Hunter College in New York for basic training.
