Joetta Roseland of Morris passed away Wednesday, July 5, 2023, at Arcadia Care of Morris at the age of 83. She was born in Cynthiana, Kentucky on August 14, 1939, the daughter of the late Joe and Edith Bruce.
Joetta’s life started in Kentucky. She and her family moved to Illinois when she was young, relocating to Ottawa where she attended school. Joetta worked in the factories in the Morris area such as Metro Rubber, Bimet, S and F Appliances and ITW from which she retired. After retirement, Joetta was able to spend her time with her family enjoying the spoils of being a grandma. She loved attending her grandkids sporting events and just being with her family. Being a mom and grandma was her greatest gift and she truly doted on everyone.

She is also survived by her close friend Jennie Chenoweth and numerous nieces, nephews and cousins.
