It is with heavy hearts and fond memories that we announce the passing of Rochelle Jensen, beloved mother, grandmother, and friend, on May 29, 2026. Rochelle departed this world peacefully at the age of 86, following a courageous battle with pancreatic cancer. Her journey ended where it began, in the comforting embrace of her birthplace, Nampa, Idaho. Born on May 14, 1940, to Harold "Bud" and Grace Roark Beaudreau, Rochelle lived a life full of love, laughter, and dedication to those around her. She was predeceased by her parents and her husbands, Lyle Jensen and Austin "Buzz" Haller, who each brought unique joy and companionship to her life. Rochelle's education began at Nampa High School, where she graduated in 1958. She then continued her studies at the University of Idaho, laying the foundation for her successful career as a realtor in Oxnard, California. Her professional life was marked by integrity, diligence, and an innate ability to create connections with her clients and colleagues alike. A proud and active member of the Eastern Star, Rochelle took great joy in her community service, including her role as a worthy matron. Her contributions to the organization were numerous and impactful, and her dedication was recognized with an Australian appointment, a testament to her commitment and leadership.
