Heaven has a new angel. The Gosnell Family are grieved to announce the unexpected passing of Mella E.P. Gosnell, 45, of Dryden, Ontario. Mella passed on March 26, 2021 at the Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre. She left us very suddenly but peacefully with her family by her side.

She is survived by her two children; (Son) Joshua Petit (Katherine) of Winnipeg, MB. and (daughter) Kaylin Gosnell (Jarod) of Dryden ON and one step daughter Franki Garneau (granddaughter Kamila) of Thunder Bay ON, who were left with love and pride. Mella was also very happy whenever she mentioned her new grandson Graysen Kearney of Thunder Bay, Ontario. She loved to show off his pictures.
