Rochelle Snell Obituary - Death Notice and Service Information

LOCATION

Mount Vernon, New York

A Guilty Pleasure: Wrestling
Rochelle M. Snell was a woman of passionate interests. She had this thing for Japanese films. She also loved everything Scottish and Irish. And she had a secret passion, too: wrestling. She had snared tickets to a couple of matches at Madison Square Garden, where she and her sister Shala d'Aquilar made a vow. "It was like, 'We can't let people know we came,' " her sister said. "Where did this fascination come from?," said Ms. Aguilar, who recalls a sweet-natured kid sister, nearly twice her size, who loved to squeeze her tight. "We're like Jamaican-American." Ms. Snell was an administrative assistant and a whiz on computers at Regus, an office- leasing company in Tower 2. She shared a house with her sister and mother in Mount Vernon, N.Y, where rose bushes and marigolds brighten the front yard. She rented stacks of foreign movies every week, cajoling her sister into watching them with her.

Sending our continued deep sympathy to your family. With each new day may God give the needed strength and comfort as you try to cope. Words will never take away the pain of someone dearly loved but they show that others still care about your loss after so many years. Rochelle will always be lovingly remembered.

Hi Chelle, miss you so much hunny. I will never forget that smile. You were a lovely person inside and out. I think of you often and what you and my sister Bonnie would be up to these days. We finally got Bonnie down here in NC now. She's getting adjusted. Your God daughter Missy asks me about you. Wish you could see how she has grown. Your NC family really misses you. RIP Love. Forever missed. Always in our hearts.
