Danielle Anne Rochford
November 10, 1977 – October 4, 2024

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Danielle Anne Rochford on October 4, 2024, at the age of 46. She leaves behind her loving father, Jim Rochford Sr., and was preceded in death by her cherished mother, Anabela.

Danielle is fondly remembered by her brothers: Dave (Sherry), Vince (Rebecca), and Jimmy (Grace), who treasure the joyful memories they shared with her. She will also be deeply missed by her nieces, nephews, and a wide circle of friends and extended family who were fortunate to know her.

Danielle was a true social butterfly, making friends wherever she went. She had a passion for cooking and baking, often delighting loved ones with her culinary creations. Her affinity for angels brought her comfort, while her favorite color, purple, was a reflection of her vibrant personality.

Family and friends are invited to pay their respects during visitation at the Oshawa Funeral Home on Tuesday, October 15, 2024, at 12:30 PM. A service will follow in the chapel at 1:30 PM, where we will celebrate Danielle's life and the love she shared with all of us. Interment will take place at Thornton Cemetery in Oshawa at 2:30 PM.

Memories and notes of condolence may be shared at Oshawa Funeral Home.

Gladys Wilma "Willie" Fairbrother
August 23, 1930 – October 8, 2024

Gladys Wilma “Willie” Fairbrother (nee Taylor) passed away peacefully on October 8, 2024, at the age of 94, surrounded by her daughters Lynn and Brenda, son-in-law Kevin, and her wonderful PSW Julie. She is predeceased by her beloved husband Tom (2006) and is survived by her children Wayne (Anna) Fairbrother, Brenda (Kevin) Calhoun, Brian (Glenda) Fairbrother, and Lynn (Bruce) Pearson, as well as her cherished grandchildren Katie (Matt), Jim (Hilary), Lyndsey (Gregg), Jeremy, Michelle (Ben), Chantal, John, Heather, and Emma.

“Willie,” as she was affectionately known, was G.G. to her great-grandchildren Emerson, Elliot, Dylan, and June. She will be greatly missed by her brother Eric Taylor (Dorothy) of Abbotsford and her many beloved nieces and nephews.

Willie was a proud 1951 graduate of the Oshawa General Hospital nursing program. Her nursing career spanned many years and included time at Oshawa General, Bloorview Children’s Centre, and Shouldice Hospital. She loved to travel, bowl, and cheer on her favorite team, the Toronto Blue Jays. In recent years, she took joy in watching the real jays, cardinals, and hummingbirds in the backyard of the home she shared with Brenda and Kevin since 2020.

Some of her happiest moments were spent at her cottage on South Lake in Minden and at the Pearson family cottage on Horn Lake in Burk’s Falls. She will be remembered for her generous spirit, her beautiful smile, sense of humor, and her gentle ways. Willie’s family takes comfort in knowing that she lived a wonderful 94 years, filled with love and laughter.

WALKEY, Francis (Frank) Gregory Walkey - September 2, 1959 - October 2, 2024

After a short but courageous battle, on the afternoon of October 2nd, Frank crossed over to Heaven’s ever after. Greeted with loving arms at Heaven’s gate by his wife; Dawn Walkey, his parents; Frank and Lillian Walkey, and his loving sister in law; Helen Lamb. Lillian’s finally got her son back in her arms, and Heaven is having one hell of a party with Freeway Frank DJ’ing up there.

Frank will be missed greatly by his family and friends; he was the most reliable and supportive best friend in the world to his children and their families. He will also be eternally missed by his two sisters, Karen (and Steve) Rankin, Judi (and Rob) Elnor, as well as his nieces and nephews, Lisa (Justin), Brent (Christina), Jenna (Kyle), Angelina, Dominic, Kohl, Aiden, Cameron, and Ellie. Frank was also a cherished Brother In Law and Uncle to family across Ontario and Newfoundland. Frank’s friends in Port Perry will also forever miss him, being the honorary mayor of their street.

Frank was the most selfless, kind-hearted, sweet man you could ever be lucky to meet and befriend. He would, without question, give you whatever you need or ask for - he would be looking in a shed, filing through his drawers or looking up exactly what you need if he didn’t have it. He’d make you smile anytime you talk to him, whether it was excitedly answering a call, “yello”, or greeting you with a big soft hug where you’d melt into his arms. His quick wit, sarcasm, and pure enjoyment of a laugh will always be cherished, missed, and talked about for years to come when thinking of all the great memories we’ve shared with Frank.

Tragically, Frank was pre-deceased by his wife, Dawn, we know they’re having an amazing reunion and are eternally together again - though passing only 6 months apart, it’s the longest they’ve been apart in almost 40 years. Us as their children will miss them more than words can explain but we find solace in the fact that they are together looking down on us, we hope we are continuing to make you proud for the rest of our lives. We love you.

“When we lose someone we love, we must learn not to live without them, but to live with the love they left behind”.

Rest well Dad, we will carry on with saying goodnight to you looking up at the stars every night. You’ve left a massive hole in our lives but how lucky are we to have had you for the time we did, to be able to miss you as much as we do.

** Funeral Service will take place on Friday, October 11th, 2024 at Oshawa Funeral Home. There will be a visitation from 9:30am-10:30am with the service beginning at 10:30am. Private reception to follow. In lieu of flowers, please consider donating in Frank’s honour to Diabetes Canada.
