With heavy hearts and extreme sadness, we announce the unexpected passing of Rochelle Alice Nolet Alonzi. Rochelle (Mème) was a bright spark in this world and has only just begun to be missed. Like the wind changing direction, Rochelle’s journey in life changed too on the evening of Friday, Feb.4th. Rochelle started her life’s journey in December of 1940 in the White Mountains of New Hampshire and was predeceased by both her parents Roland and Rosa Nolet. Rochelle was always beyond passionate about her family and celebrated them daily – survived by her best friend/love of her life Joseph A. Alonzi whom she married in 1965. The two remained side by side for the next 56 years!
With the arrival of their daughter in April of ’66, Amy Anderson (David) and then again, welcoming son Douglas Alonzi (Cynthia) in February of ’72 in Fort Lauderdale, her family continued to grow. Rochelle is also survived by her beloved younger brother Roland Nolet (Pam) of Broward, Florida.
Rochelle’s dynamic personality was best displayed when she spoke about the greatest joys in her eyes, her six (6) grandchildren and again was fortunate in the last remaining four (4) years with two (2) great grandchildren! One might think all that youth would be exhausting to keep up with, but Mème, (as called by her family), always kept pace while sharing a unique bond with each one of them.
