Rosalind P. Walter, also known as "Rosie the Riveter," died Wednesday at the age of 95 in New York City.
During World War II, Walter, affectionately called "Roz" by friends, worked the night shift driving rivets into the metal bodies of Corsair fighter planes at a plant in Connecticut, a job previously reserved for men.
A newspaper column about her inspired a morale-boosting 1942 song that turned her into the legendary Rosie the Riveter, according to The New York Times.
"She's a part of the assembly line. She's making history, working for victory," the famous song lyrics say in part. "Rosie, brrrrrr, the Riveter."

RIP Rosie....
I had no idea she was still alive. I remember the passing of the last WW1 vet and we are getting close to the last of the WW2 vets.
May God have Mercy on your soul Rosie.
^Same, I thought she had passed too. RIP Rosie.
