Janet Mary Rockler

Born on February 17, 1926, in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Janet was the daughter of Phil Rudick and Mary Rudick. Raised with strong family values and an unwavering sense of loyalty, she carried those lessons into every chapter of her life. Janet graduated from high school in Minnesota, where she spent the majority of her life before moving to Edmond, Oklahoma, in 1992.

In 1948, at the age of 22, Janet married the love of her life, Sam Rockler. Together, they built a home full of warmth, tradition, and unconditional love. Janet's greatest joy came from caring for her family. Her ideal day was one spent in the kitchen, cooking for those she loved most. Family was everything to her.

Janet had a love for country western music and the color blue, but above all, she had a deep and abiding love for her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. Her laughter was most often sparked by their antics and stories, and her presence was a constant source of comfort and strength. Her family learned the meaning of loyalty from watching how she lived, loved, and sacrificed for those around her.

She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Sam Rockler; her brothers Jim, Bud, and Vic Rudick; and her sisters Phyllis Gamache and Shirley Marten. She leaves behind a legacy of love through her children, Barry Rockler (wife Betty Bowers) and Jill LaFavor (husband Joel LaFavor); her grandchildren Kendall, Whitney, Jessie, Danny, and Julia; and her loyal fur baby, Harley.

Janet’s family finds peace in knowing that she will be remembered as a good mother and grandmother, someone who raised her children with compassion and integrity, and who loved with her whole heart.

A remembrance gathering to honor Janet’s life will be held on July 12th at 1:00 PM at 13416 N. Coltrane Rd, Edmond, OK 73013. All who knew and loved her are welcome to join in celebrating her extraordinary life.
