Brenda Rockwood Obituary

Brenda Rockwood, 69, of Belleview, Florida passed away on August 7, 2024.

Brenda was born on June 11, 1955 to Marion and Frederick LaBarge in Montpelier, Vermont. She lived most of her life in Vernon, Vermont with her family.

Brenda was married for over forty years to Kirk Rockwood and moved to Florida in late 2018 to be near their twin daughters, Amanda and Sarah Rockwood. She enjoyed spending time with her husband, watching Days of Our Lives regularly, and she loved time with her only grandchild.

She spent over thirty years in the bookkeeping and payroll department in Pine Heights at Brattleboro Center for Nursing and Rehabilitation (known as Eden Park Nursing Home at the time). She went on to work at the Brattleboro Retreat before retirement.

Brenda is survived by her beloved husband, Kirk, in Belleview, FL, two daughters, Amanda and Sarah, in Sanford, FL and her granddaughter, Evelisse, who she enjoyed very much her last few years. She is survived, as well, by an older brother Larry LaBarge, of Wisconsin, a younger sister Shirley (Robin) Alex, of New England, an aunt, many cousins, nieces, and nephews. Brenda was predeceased by both of her parents, and aunts and uncles she was close to during her life.

Services will be private for the family with burial near her home in Belleview.

I am so sorry to hear of Brenda´s passing. I met her through Shirley over 40 years ago. We lost touch over the years.
Kurt and family may God bless you all during this difficult time. May you find peace in your prayers with him. Brenda will live on in you in your hearts and soul.

My condolences to Sarah, Amanda, and Kirk. I have fond memories of you girls growing up in Vernon. I remember the yard sale you had with Robby at your home. Your mom was always so supportive of all your shenanigans. I'm sorry for your lose and sending love and affection your way.
