Rochelle Weetman, 65

Rochelle Weetman, 65, passed away suddenly March 5, 2022, in Wilmington, Del. Rochelle was born in Wallace, Idaho, the daughter of Jesse and Sally Burkett (Forkner).

She married her beloved husband, George Weetman, in 1982 and they raised their family in Wallace until George passed away. Rochelle moved to Warrenton, Ore., to be close to the ocean, and later to San Antonio, Texas, for inspiration for her writing. She settled in Wilmington in 2001.

Rochelle had various careers; at the Taco House in Wallace; as a cosmetologist; as an EMT; as a writer of novels; and most importantly as the mother and matriarch of the Weetman clan. She enjoyed traveling across the country, visiting her family in Idaho, writing poetry and novels, cooking, and spending time with her many friends on Facebook, especially the Kaleidoscope of Magical Perceptions.

Rochelle's husband, George, predeceased her in 1995. She was also predeceased by both of her birth parents. Her adopted mother, Evelyn May (Roe) Rogers Burkett, passed in 2021. She is survived by her daughter, Jennifer (Roger); her two sons, Jesse and Michael; three grandchildren, Kortni (Ryan), Habi and Gabriel; two great-grandchildren, Karter and Kolton; her two stepbrothers, Dave (Cindy) and Tim (Bunny); her best friend, Hobbs; as well as her pets, Moki (dog) and Murr (cat).

Wiccan burial and funeral services will be private. In lieu of flowers the family suggests taking a moment to hug the friends, spouses and children in your life, and strive to be happy. By the Lady, blessed be.
