June 23, 2014, formerly of Merrick, LI. Beloved wife of the late Joseph P. Rocchio Sr.; dear mother of M. Lemoyne
Rhoades and the late Joseph P. Rocchio Jr. MD; devoted grandmother of P. Richard Rhoades III (Deborah)
and Kristen E. Webb (Gregory Horn); adored great-grandmother of Alexandra E. Rhoades; sister of John
(Rosemarie) Leonard; also survived by numerous nieces, nephews in particular Mari-Ann Rocchio and many
special friends. Mildred’s frugal lifestyle enabled her incredible generosity and her culinary skills rivaled the best. In
lieu of flowers, memorials to Hospice Buffalo Inc., would be a testimonial to her brave and stoic departure in their
compassionate care. We opt not to say “Good-bye’’ Nan but rather in unison, “Toodle’’. A private Memorial Service is
planned. Online tributes may be made to denglerrobertspernafuneral.com
