A beloved mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, she is survived by her three sons, Irvin (Julie) Rozell, of Colorado Springs; Brian Rozell, of Twin Lakes; and Michael (Jill) Rozell of Burlington, from her husband Irvin W. Rozell. She is further survived by: grandchildren Amy Marie (Anthony) Deets, Jesse Rozell, Jaimie Rozell, Daniel Rozell, Ryan Rozell, Rachael Rozell and Michael Rozell; great-grandchildren Brayden Howell and Alexander Deets; and many special nieces, nephews and lifelong friends.
