Rosetta and Joseph enjoyed their Cottage in Ontario Canada and were fortunate to travel to Alaska to visit the areas Joseph served building the Alaskan Highway, Germany to enjoy the Beer Fest and over 30 states.
She was a member of the Republican party of Shawano County and received many awards from the district. Her passion was to volunteer her time with her many friends with shared interests. Rosetta enjoyed mayflower picking, and her time as a talented self-taught seamstress.
