Rochelle Peterson-Doherty Obituary
Rochelle Peterson Doherty, 56, went to be with Her Lord and Savior on April 13, 2016. Rochelle was born November 23, 1959 in Oconto Falls, WI to Gerald "Punky" and Carol Peterson.
Rochelle was voted most talented of her High School Class and was well-known in the family as a person of many gifts and talents. Those talents included art, crafts, scrap booking and interior decorating. She was also excellent with hair, make-up and fashion.
Artistic and creative, Rochelle could take any item and make it beautiful. Shelly found her real passion in nursing, serving as an RN in many capacities for over 20 years. She was a larger than life personality, dearly loved and will be missed.
She is survived by two daughters, Kiley and Laryn Nagel; husband, Mike Doherty; step-children, Devon, Nathan and Mikayla Doherty; two brothers, Gerald (Frances) Peterson and Lee Peterson, two sisters, Sandra (James) Seiferth and Dawn (Frank) Folwarski, three nieces, five nephews, three great-nephews, two great-nieces, several Uncles, Aunts and cousins.
Rochelle was preceded in death by her parents and two infant siblings.
Visitation with the urn present will take place at Ryan Funeral Home and Crematory, 305 N Tenth Street De Pere, WI 54115 from 4-6 p.m. Friday, April 29th, 2016, followed by a memorial service. Rochelle will be laid to rest with her beloved mother, Carol in Oconto Falls on Saturday, April 30. Please go to www.ryanfh.com to send online condolences to the family.
In lieu of flowers, a college fund has been set up for Kiley and Laryn. Please send donations to their father, Dan Nagel, 1829 Lost Dauphin Rd. De Pere, WI 54115.
