She peacefully departed this life on September 21, 2026, leaving behind a legacy of love, strength, and resilience that will forever be cherished by those who had the privilege to know her. From a young age, Rochelle was a beacon of light, known for her quick wit and infectious smile that could brighten any room. Her ability to make others laugh, even in the toughest times, was a testament to her enduring spirit and warmth. Her love for Kevin Gates' music, her passion for Star Wars, and her cherished collection of Star Wars memorabilia spoke to her vibrant personality and unique interests. She often shared that "Family is Everything," a sentiment she lived by, as she devoted much of her time to her loved ones. Rochelle's journey in life was marked by perseverance and determination. Although she did not receive a high school diploma, she proudly earned her GED and was actively pursuing a career in retail, with aspirations of obtaining a real estate license. Her work in sales, food industries, and marketing reflected her tireless quest to find her true calling. Ultimately, she discovered her passion for real estate, where she thrived as a realtor. She was a beloved daughter to Jeraldine Williams and stepfather Robert Simpson, and a cherished sister to Gabriel Simpson, Ryan Simpson, Mya Robinson, and Jase Coleman. Rochelle was predeceased by her father, Robert Tso, whose memory she held dear. Though her marriage to Brandon Ludwinski did not last, the love and joy they shared remain part of her story. Rochelle was a woman who gave of herself freely, whether it was taking walks with her beloved dog Nova or preparing meals for her siblings, ensuring they never went hungry. Her creativity shone through in the thoughtful creations she crafted for special occasions, bringing joy to her family and friends. Her family wishes to extend their deepest gratitude for all the support, love, kindness, and donations received during this difficult time.
