Rosella touched many lives with her quiet and generous loving heart. She treasured all her friendships new and old and the extra special care she received at the Mt. Angel Towers. Rosella's faith was a priority in her life, reciting the rosary daily. She died peacefully surrounded by her children and is now reunited with her family in heaven.
