She loved the outdoors and enjoyed working in her adored and much envied flowerbeds. Also, feeding and housing the birds. Other joys, were cooking, knitting and crocheting; cards and games and crossword puzzles.
Roszella will be tremendously missed by her daughter, family, friends and her many angelic helpers.
A little woman with a big voice. A voice that was definitely worth listening to…that could bring laughter to your heart. A fun lady and joy to be around.
Sparkling brown eyes…then revealing the quick wit ending with a smile.
She had gigantic willpower…amazing and inspiring everyone!
She now walks freely in God’s Light.
Rose’s fragrance lingers always in all hearts, blessed to know her.
