Rosella Marie Hart, 75, of Red Lake passed away on Sunday, February 8, 2015, at Sanford Hospital in Bemidji, MN. Rosella was born on October 3rd, 1939 in Red Lake, MN. She was the daughter of Freida Hart and Raymond Munnell.

Rosella's pride and joy was her family, especially all her grandchildren. At a young age she learned the meaning of hard work by having to help care for her younger siblings and family members. Back then she did many chores that didn't have the conveniences that we have today. She took great pride in that fact. At the age of 16 she married her first husband, together they fished, hunted, trapped and raised their children. In 1976 she divorced and moved to Minneapolis MN, where she focused on getting her GED and furthering her education. It was during this time she met and married her second husband. She worked in housekeeping for many years and also received her diploma in electronics before divorcing in 1987. She then moved back home to Red Lake and enjoyed many happy years of being among her family & friends. Her other joys were going to the casino, cooking and sharing good old fashioned dinners with family and anyone who stopped in. She also had a fun sense of humor and enjoyed telling stories about her life growing up.

Those that have gone before her are her parents; Freida Hart and Raymond Munnell, her daughter Valerie Lynn May, her sons; Robin Frederick May and Donald James May Jr., a brother; Larry and Melvin Smith and a sister; Edna Kingbird.

She leaves behind to cherish her memory her sons; Tony May and Dean May, daughters; Denise May Guinn (Dean) and Bonnie May, a sister; Geraldine Smith, brothers; David Clark and William Clark, numerous grandchildren and great grandchildren.
