This memorial website was created in the memory of our loved one, Rosetta Gabel, 73, born on June 12, 1938 and passed away on August 27, 2011. We will remember her forever.

Rosetta is survived by her beloved partner Margaret and cherished daughter Dominique. Rosetta graduated from the prestigious Belleve Hospital School of Nursing in 1958. She loved her country and proudly served in the US military from 1958-1962. Once she completed serving in the Army, Rosetta worked professionally as an RN. She would later become supervisor of nurses and use her knowledge and compassion to champion patients' rights.

In her personal life she could always be counted on to help family and friends with not only physical and medical needs but also with spiritual guidance. She used her skilled hands to create a garden of phenomenal proportion year after year. And when she wasn't tending to her ever growing garden, she could be found in her woodworking shop or firing up some polymer clay. An avid music lover, she enjoyed the listening to the blues, 70's r&b, and classical music. She even played banjo!

Rosetta enjoyed her family and friends and will be greatly missed by all those who were fortunate to have been a part of her life.

Photographs & music are here forever as are memories of you, Rosetta. This memorial is a beautiful tribute for a beautiful woman & lady. I don't think you ever dropped the F bomb. If you were here today that might be different. Can you pull some strings up there to get rid of you know who.

Holding Rosetta and Gee Gee close in my heart. I appreciate what these ladies have shared both with each other and with those who have known them. Rosetta is at peace, but I'm sure that she fondly watches over those who she loves, especially Gee Gee and Dee, of course. Thank you, God, for allowing my life path to join with both Gee Gee's and Rosetta's life journey. So far, I have learned to learn from each sorrow and each joy in life, to be kind to others with no expectations, to believe in myself and that the greatest gift and happiness source is love.

'' All things are lessons God would have you learn. He would not leave any unforgiving thought without correction, nor one thorn or nail to hurt His Holy Daughter in any way. He would ensure her holy rest remain untroubled and serene, without care in an eternal home which cares for her, And He would have all tears be wiped away, with none remaining yet unshed and none but waiting their appointed time to fall. For God has willed that laughter should replace each one and that His Holy Daughter be free again." from the Course in Miracles

Rosetta will remain in our hearts...and we are all better for having had her bless our lives with her energy and love. I know that I myself sometimes ask, "What would Rosetta do? or say?" - That helps make my decision the best it can be. Thank you, Rosetta.
