Rochelle graduated from Pojoaque Valley High in 1985 and had a gift with words and a love for poetry. Her professional life consisted of various administrative jobs with the State of New Mexico. Her magnetic and easygoing charisma made anyone, even complete strangers, feel comfortable and completely open in her presence. This uniqueness, not to mention her striking sense of humor, always guaranteed a genuine conversation that never ended without at least one good laugh. She was a social butterfly who loved to spend time with her friends & family as often as possible. She treated each moment of her life like an adventure, and her lighthearted wit was always her silver lining on cloudy days when life's challenges appeared, even during her toughest battles. Rochelle’s life was never without the love of a canine companion. There were several lucky dogs throughout her life that she loved and cherished and these bonds always formed naturally and effortlessly.

Rochelle has left everlasting and deep impressions on those who loved her, and although she will be missed, she has left us with a lifetime of memories that will live on in our hearts forever.
