Rochelle Ratto Obituary

Rochelle Rene Ratto was born in Houston, Texas on January 17, 1981. Then her days as a rolling stone began. During her life, she lived in Texas, Louisiana, Colorado, California, Arizona, Florida, Tennessee, back to Colorado, North Carolina, and again back to Colorado. She loved Colorado and its eclectic mix of people. She was comfortable with the river community, business owners and mayors alike. Her heart was as big as Texas. No-one was a stranger to Rochelle. She loved everyone and everyone loved her. Her laugh was infectious, and her smile lit up a room! Boat Barn Bagel Company on Main Street was a vision in Rochelle's mind... her dream. An inviting place where everyone would feel welcomed, loved on and enjoy some delicious fresh bagels, made by Rochelle. She said, "it took some time to get them right"... but she did it! Boat Barn Bagel Company was just voted "Best New Business in Canon City". Our fervent prayer is that someone will continue with her dream! There are many family members and friends who are now left with memories of our precious Rochelle. May those memories comfort you. "Here's to new adventures!" Love, Rochelle Arrangments entrusted to Harwood Funeral Home.

My family knew Rochelle since the very early 80's when she was best friends for many years with my daughter Kate (as children), when we all lived a little south of Tucson. Then, coincidentally, she moved to where we had moved to near Canon City, CO. Rochelle and her children visited us when Kate came home for a visit. Like Rochelle, such beautiful children! I saw Rochelle a few times when she worked for a dentist in town and a few other times in Canon. We were FB friends. She was always so happy, such a big smile and laugh---always. Always upbeat, when I saw her here and she talked about some new project. In earlier years she was like another daughter in our home---a wonderful, smart, positive child. I can speak for my family in saying that all of us are stunned and saddened about her sudden death. May God and Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit embrace you and alleviate the pain caused in your life, Rochelle. Rest in loving comfort. We always loved you and cherish your memory. The Honaker family.
