Rochelle Bashore Obituary
Born in Lititz, Pennsylvania on May 4, 1940, Rochelle lived a life filled with kindness, laughter, and unwavering devotion to those she loved. She cherished her family above all else, and her home was open to anyone in need of comfort, conversation or a meal.
Throughout her life, Rochelle was dedicated to her community and faith. She found joy in being her daughter's softball team mom, decorating her home and handing out toys to children for Christmas, and took great pride in creating traditions with her family.
Rochelle is survived by her three daughters, Cathleen Fox of Mt. Pleasant, South Carolina, Cheryl Bashore of Panama City, Florida and Holly Bashore of Freeport, Florida; and one granddaughter, Kayla Bashore of Raleigh, North Carolina.
A celebration of her life will be held on Wednesday, October 22, 2025 at Kent-Forest Lawn Funeral Home with Chaplain Craig Brannon officiating.
The family will receive friends for one hour prior to services at the funeral home on Wednesday. All are invited to gather and celebrate Rochelle's life and legacy.
In lieu of flowers, the family request donations be made to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in honor of Rochelle's generous spirit.
