Joan Marie Rocco

On October 9, 2023, Joan "Joanie" M. Rocco got her wings and went home. She was 69. She is survived by her husband of 51 years, Michael J. Rocco Sr., and two children, Christie (Joel) Moore and Mike (Lori) Rocco Jr. Besides her husband and children, Joan is survived by her parents, Robert and Phyllis Smith, her sister, Gail Hochendoner and aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins and many friends including some furry ones known as her grand dogs, Maggie, Buddy and Izzy. She especially loved being a grandmother to her six grandchildren, Valerie Rocco, Gavin Moore, Tyler Moore, Stella Kohl, Aubrey Kohl and Chloe Kohl.

“Joanie” will forever be remembered for her creative talents, her ‘kolackys’, her unwavering strength, her thoughtfulness, her kind-hearted spirit, her infectious smile, her light and the love she carried for her family.

The family will be hosting a private celebration of life on Sunday, October 22, 2023.

Think of me…light a candle and see it glow, watch it dance when you feel low, think of me, think of light, I’ll always be here day or night. A candle flickers out of sight, in your heart I’ll still burn bright.

Forever in our hearts.
