Obituary published on Legacy.com by Lehman-Dzendzel Funeral Home - Celina on Nov. 28, 2025.
Joanne Marie Rochford, age 67 passed away peacefully on November 25, 2025 at the Briarwood Village in Coldwater. She was born the daughter of the late Joseph Henry and Elenor Ann (Jones) Rochford on May 19, 1958 in Cleveland, Ohio.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her brothers Tom Rochford and Bob Rochford.

She is survived by her brother Jim Rochford of Charlotte, N.C. aswell as several nieces and nephews.

After High School, Joanne received her degree in nursing from St. Clair Comm College. She was a Unit Coordinator for 21 years at the Grandview Hospital in Dayton and retired in 2004. She was a member of St. Alberts Church in Kettering, Ohio and Our Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Church in Celina.

Joanne was kind and generous to her family, friends and the people that she loved. She was a hard worker who could balance many things at once and always got the job done right. She loved listening to music, watching movies, gambling and traveling. Joanne will be missed by her family and friends, but the memories of her and all of the lives she touched will remain forever in our hearts.

A memorial service will be held at a later date. Joanne arrangements are in the care of the Lehman-Dzendzel Funeral Home. Memorial contributions may be made to EverHeart Hospice. Condolences may be shared with the Rochford family on-line at LehmanDzendzelFH.com.
