Stites, ID - Our dear Bella has gone home to the Lord. Caring and strong, Bella filled her 26 years with purpose, adventure, and service. She died tragically as a Crew Module Leader for the Idaho Department of Lands at a prescribed burn with her beloved team.

Born on January 24, 1999, to Kelvin and Kathleen Oscarson, she graduated from Watertown (MN) High School in 2017. After earning her Associates Degree, she joined the MN Conservation Corps and worked as a Crew Leader. She then worked for the MN DNR as a Fire Resource Lead.

She settled into Floodwood with the love of her life, Matt Becker. Bella joined the local volunteer ambulance service, was close to earning an Emergency Management and Homeland Security degree, and fought fires in multiple states and Canada. Matt and Bella moved to Stites, Idaho, in early 2025, with Bella working for the Idaho Department of Lands. Bella's DNR and IDL colleagues, including excellent mentors, meant the world to her.

Bella loved outdoor adventure, cooking, baking, crafting, gardening, and reading. She cherished family and friend time, sharing her joy, quiet faith, playful humor, and funky dance moves. She wrote a children's book about firefighting, The Firebug.

In addition to Matt and her loving parents, Bella is survived by siblings Anarosa, Jacob, and Sophia; grandfather Richard Hawkins; a devoted extended family, and countless friends. Preceded in death by grandparents Mary Ann Hawkins and Betty & Walter Oscarson. Memorial in Grangeville, ID on Oct 1.
