Rossi, Joyce On a tranquil August 22, 2020 morning, a beautiful soul returned to her Lord when Joyce Rossi (age 85) passed away at her daughter's home in rural Osakis, MN. Joyce Maydelle Niemi entered into the lives of her family on July 24, 1935 in Sparta, MN. She was the daughter of John and Amelia (Koski) Niemi and grew up with her brother, Wesley. She graduated from Gilbert High School in 1953 and on June 18,1955 married her soulmate, Douglas Rossi. Joyce lived Christ's example of being a servant to all, and selflessly served her family, church and community wherever she lived. She had lifetime interests in travel, literature, antiquing and music. Joyce was blessed with many talents herself, including writing poetry, painting, gardening and cooking. As a lifelong Minnesotan, she was an avid sports fan for the MN Twins and Vikings, and her cherished MN Gophers. Yet, her fondest memories were spending time with her children, grandchildren and friends at their cabin on Lake Vermilion. Joyce's legacy will live on in the lives of her family. Joyce will leave behind her four children Cyndi (John) Berglund, Scott (Cheryl) Rossi, Dolan (Katy) Rossi and Gina (Brad) Hoffarth; 14 grandchildren Rachelle (Scott) Crumrine, Tyler, Doug (Nicole), Justin, Amber (Zach) Teske, Erika (Marty) Affentranger, Joey, Taylor, Riley, Alexa, Karlee, Camryn, Larissa and Bria; and six great grandchildren Solana, Ethan, Beckett, Delilah, Michael and Niko. Due to restrictions, a private family funeral service is being held, but the family would appreciate memorials (in lieu of flowers).
