The beloved Rochelle Ann McCarthy, age 50, passed away on February 5th, 2020 after a thirteen year long battle with cancer. She was born in Neenah, Wisconsin on May 4th, 1969 to James Allen and Peggy Elaine Buss Marks.

She graduated from Menasha high school, class of 1987. Rochelle then went on to receive her Bachelors of Science degree in Real Estate in 1991 from Arizona State University.

McCarthy; Her parents; Sisters Theresa(Aaron) Heirshberg and Jamie(Bill) Eskridge; nieces and nephews, Chloe, Bailey, and William Eskridge, Azure and Jasper Heirsherg; mother-in-law Elizabeth “Honey” McCarthy and sister-in-law Natalie(Tony) Ward.

A celebration of life will be at 3:00 p.m. on Sunday, February 9th, 2020 at Hodges Funeral Home at Naples Memorial Gardens, 525 111th Ave N, Naples, FL with a reception to follow.
