She was active with the Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, Brownies and on behalf of the Archdiocese of Detroit was awarded the St. Anne Medal from the Archdiocese of Detroit for her leadership with the Girl Scouts.  This medal affirms the work of those who help youth develop their spiritual lives.

Rosella volunteered many hours of her time at church and school events supporting and encouraging her family's academic and extra-curricular interests. Rosella enjoyed a rich life. She was an avid reader and loved to travel. Her interests also included music, gardening, art, painting, and ceramics.

Rosella was an active member in the Waterford Garden Club a local branch of the Women's National Farm and Garden Association.

She remained deeply connected to the friends she made from her early school days, nurses training and the nurses she worked with and enjoyed any reason to get together including her annual alumni association events.

Rosella enjoyed her large extended family which included in-laws, many nieces, nephews, neighbors, and friends.  Not a sporting event, school play, music, dance recital or special event, honors banquet or graduation was missed.  She was devoted, our #1 fan!!!  Her greatest joy was the time spent surrounded by her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren.
