Rufus Robert Rockwell
1960-2021
Our hearts are very heavy as the family of
Rufus Robert Rockwell announce his sudden passing on Friday September
24, 2021. He bounced into this world on June 18, 1960, in Sept. Isles,
Quebec. He worked hard all his life from being a mechanic, to a truck
driver, to being self employed and lastly a heavy-duty machine
operator. The one thing he didn’t need to work hard at was
loving his family. He leaves behind his adoring wife of 36 years
Paulette (McMullin) Rockwell; his three beautiful children, Andrea
Rockwell (Chris Dempsey) of Cambridge, Jennifer Johnson of Garland and
Mindy Rockwell of Waterville; his beloved
fur baby, Benson; his two sisters, Teresa
(Larry Ogilvie) of Centreville, and Karlene (Randy Pynch), of North
Alton. He also leaves eight grandchildren: Jesse, Cole, Chloe, Taylor,
Ethan, Makena, Brogan and Lilli; as well as many nieces and nephews.
He was predeceased by his sister, Veneda Weatherbee, and his parents,
Joyce and Karl Rockwell. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and
gathering restrictions, there will be a private service, by invitation
only, in the White Family Funeral Home, Kentville. There will be a
reception to follow at the Rockwell residence. A video webcast of the
service will be available at 10:00 a.m. on Sunday, October 3. In lieu
of flowers, donations in memory may be made to The Local Food Bank or
Local Red Cross. Funeral
arrangements have been entrusted to the
White Family Funeral Home and Cremation Services, Kentville. For
