Mary Doyle Keefe, known for modeling as "Rosie the Riveter" in the famed Norman Rockwell painting that came to symbolize women factory workers during World War II, has died. Keefe, 92, died peacefully on Tuesday in Simsbury, Connecticut after living the last eight years at the McLean Village Community, the Carmon Community Funeral Homes obituary said.
"Rosie the Riveter" is often confused with another popular image from the same era.
The poster shows a woman flexing her arm under the slogan "We Can Do It." It was part of a nationwide campaign to sell war bonds, but is not the same character.
