Anne, Sally, Bob, Chris, Michael and family, I am so sorry to hear of Rochelle’s passing. Everyone who knew her was blessed by her kindness and caring spirit. She not only was a friend of mine; but, my children were blessed to have her as a second mom in their lives. We all will always have the fondest memories of her. “You made it home my friend. I’ll see you when I get there. We will sit together on the porch and talk.”

Rochelle was one of my block moms growing up. She always knew what we were up to before we even said it, always happy to see you, always ready to listen to your story or give you a word of advice and anyone who knows her knows what “not to be smart” was all about. She will definitely be missed and always hold a place in my heart and memories

Rochelle, It’s been a long time since I’ve visited but I can still see your smile and how it lit up a room. You always asked about others and took the time to listen. It was clear to me and everyone who knew you that you loved your sons and your grandchildren very much. You were a strong woman and the care you provided your family was notable. Rochelle, you are forever in our memories until we meet again.

Rochelle was not only a devoted mother and grandmother but also a second mother to so many of us who were fortunate enough to know her. Her humility, kindness, and selflessness were boundless, and her gentle spirit touched every life she encountered.
She shared her wisdom and her heart freely, teaching those around her the importance of caring for others and embracing the simple, meaningful moments in life. Some of my fondest memories are of her teaching me how to cook and do laundry,...

So sorry to hear about Rochelle’s passing. She was truly a great person. She demonstrated what humbleness, caring and selflessness looks like everyday. I was fortunate to see her one last time a couple years ago and it was like time stood still since I left Hazleton. She was still full of the same energy and happiness I remember her having when I was a kid. My prayers go out to her family.

So many fond memories of Rochelle from the Vine Street house. Sitting on the front porch playing games and talking about school. She was a great second mom to my siblings and I. There wasn’t a thing she wouldn’t do for us. Rest in peace until we see each other again.
