Fay Rockwell
Fay Ann Rockwell, 84, died March 12, 2022, at her home in Hernando, Mississippi. Fay was born Dec. 14, 1937, in Amherst.
She dedicated the majority of her life serving as a loving homemaker for her family. She was an amazing mother, wife, caretaker and role model. She was the epitome of a strong Christian woman who dedicated her whole life to serving her Lord and Savior. She was also extremely active in her church, Emmanuel Lutheran Church in Rifle, and was a proud, dedicated member of the Lutheran Women’s Missionary League.
Fay was also an extremely creative woman. She was a jack of all trades and could make the best out of anything! She had such an outgoing personality and had a way of making others feel comfortable around her. However, she loved nothing more than playing different board games and card games with her family. She will truly be missed by all who knew her.
She is survived by her three daughters, Regina and Russell Hiner of Albuquerque, New Mexico, Rhonda and Mark Zoller of Hernando, and RaLynn Behr of Cincinnati, Ohio; son, Randal and Cindy Rockwell of Rifle; one granddaughter, Jennifer and Robert Cavagnaro of Lake Oswego, Oregon; five grandsons, Kenneth and Renee Hiner of Albuquerque, Randal Rockwell II of Fargo, North Dakota, Brennan Behr of Lexington, Kentucky, Cory Zoller of Burlington, and Bryce Behr of Columbus, Ohio; son-in-law, Douglas Behr of Fairfield; two honorary grandsons, Kelby Latham of Silt and Daniel Schouten of Denver; nine great-grandchildren; sister, Betty Brown of Golconda, Illinois; and sister-in-law, Yvonne Wernet of Holyoke.
Mrs. Rockwell was preceded in death by her husband, Millard Gene Rockwell; parents, Walter Leben and Anna Leben; sister, Fern Mast; and three brothers, Rex Leben, Wayne Leben and Ray Leben.
