She had over 25 years of banking service and she ended her career working in the judicial system.
Rosella's love for her family, friends and colleagues was unconditional. She was a very giving person who always put others before herself. The love she gave to others, was reciprocated back to her with every person she encountered. 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.
