    Betty J. Rockwell, 92, formerly  of LeRoy,  passed away peacefully on Sunday, February 1, 2015 at Twin Oaks Personal Care Home in Granville Summit.
    Born July 5, 1922 at the family home in LeRoy Township, Betty was a twin and one of eight children of the late Harry and Helen (Bunyan) Rockwell.  She attended LeRoy Elementary School and graduated from Canton High School in 1941.  Betty worked at Belmar Manufacturing in Canton in her early years.  She then became a caregiver to her parents during their declining health.
    Betty loved life and appreciated nature’s beauty.  She was a Christian, and God was with her everyday.  She remained energetic and inquisitive all of her life. Most of all Betty loved her family.  Even though she had no children of her own, she took an active part in raising and loving her many nieces, nephews and great nieces and great nephews.  Betty enjoyed playing the piano and fiddle, watching baseball, and playing Pinochle with her family. 


    She also loved her feline friends, was an avid reader and wrote lovely poems mostly about nature.  Betty was very happy living at Twin Oaks Personal Care Home for the past eight years and at Matson’s Personal Care Home for seven years prior.  The family would like to thank the caregivers of both facilities for their love and caring of Betty.
    Surviving are sister-in-law, Phyllis Rockwell; special nieces and nephews; Gail (Ted) Franklin, Roger (Stephanie) Rockwell, Brian (Kimberly) Rockwell, Robert M. Rockwell, Susan Rockwell and Kelly (Robert) Nearing, many more beloved nieces and nephews, great nieces and great nephews.
    She was predeceased by her brothers and sisters; Charlotte Allen, Catherine Myers, Daisy Morse, Max Rockwell, Ivor Rockwell, Judy Schrader and her twin brother, Robert J. Rockwell.
    Calling hours are 11 - Noon Saturday, Feb. 7, at Pepper Funeral Home, 578 Springbrook Dr. Canton.  Pastor Ronnie Bly will officiate the funeral and committal services at 12 p.m.  Burial will follow in Franklin Center Cemetery.  The family will provide flowers and suggest memorials in Betty’s name to the Animal Care Sanctuary, Sanctuary Hill Lane East Smithfield, PA 18817  or to Bradford County Humane Society, P.O. Box 179 Ulster, PA 18850.
