Rose Lind, 33

Rosetta Elizabeth Hinton Lind, age 33, of Three Rivers, died on Tuesday, June 6, 2023 due to complications from an 18-year struggle with type 1 diabetes. Rosetta was born on July 29, 1989 in Three Rivers. At the age of five she was adopted into the family of Suzanne and Timothy Lind, also of Three Rivers. As a child she spent five years living with her family in Durban, South Africa. In 2007 Rosetta accompanied her parents to Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo, where she attended The American School of Kinshasa, graduating in 2009. After returning to the U.S., she completed a CNA certification and began working as a home health care provider.

Rose brought into the world a great gift for relating to people of all ages and situations. She always sought out open and welcoming engagement with others, and was rarely intimidated by power or position. She had a bright spirit of openness and acceptance that embraced everyone regardless of their abilities, beliefs, race, or other distinctives. She carried that spirit with her throughout her diverse educational experiences, communities, and cultural encounters, and to the hearts of her family and friends. She will be forever remembered and deeply missed by her many friends here and around the world, and by her parents, sisters, brothers, nephews, nieces, aunts, and uncles from both her adoptive and her birth families.

Cremation has taken place. A Celebration of Life will be held at Trinity Episcopal Church, 321 North Main Street, Three Rivers, at 11:00 a.m. on June 24. The service will be followed by the sharing of a light lunch and remembrances in the church hall.
