Rocky was exceptionally friendly and giving to everyone whether she knew them or not, she never met a stranger. Many know her as the kind, generous, fun-loving woman she was. She loved and was well loved by many. She especially enjoyed the Christmas Holidays where she would make homemade candy to give out to all her neighbors and friends.
Rocky had a love and passion for shopping, playing cards and going to the Casinos. She looked forward to Saturdays when she Carbella and Angie would go out to lunch and shop. This was their tradition. She would go up and down each aisle of the store to see if they had anything new from the week before. (every aisle -whew) She also loved going to the farmers market, mostly to visit. She would buy fruits, vegetables, pickles, and other stuff just to give out to others. The warmth of Rocky’s heart and the brilliance of her spirit will forever echo in the memories of those who loved her.
