Rosella’s love extended to her kitty cats whom she cared for and loved with all that she had. Rosella and her husband enjoyed traveling and spending their time with their loved ones. She was the light of any evening, she enjoyed being around others and loved to see them happy and smiling. Rosella had the magic of always finding and seeing the beauty in everyone and everything around her, even in her last few days here on earth. She has touched the lives of all that knew and loved her, she will remain in the hearts of those she has left behind and may her kindness radiate through them and continue to be shared. The family has asked that you take a moment to share a memory and remember Rosella as we have decided to hold off on services due to the current pandemic. In lieu of flowers we ask that you make a donation to your local animal shelter in Rosella’s name.
