Rochelle Leigh Simpson
August 10, 1994 - June 25, 2023
On June 25, 2023, Rochelle Leigh Simpson, 28, passed suddenly in an unfortunate single vehicle accident near Stavely, Alberta.
Rochelle was born on August 10, 1994, and spent most of her life in Sherwood Park, Alberta. She had a deep faith in her Savior Jesus Christ. Taking the lead from her family, she found a love for music and acting at an early age and participated in many musicals and festivals throughout her life.
After graduating from Bev Facey Community High School in 2012, Rochelle attended Brigham Young University – Idaho, and explored the degree of Performance Arts before reigniting her passion for animals and earning a Bachelor of Science in Animal Sciences in 2017.
In 2019 she landed her dream job at Foothills Veterinary Clinic in Cardston, Alberta, a place she could work with a wide variety of animals as she continued her studies, working towards becoming a Registered Veterinary Technician. She was a cornerstone of the Foothills Clinic, filling many roles and helping many people and animals along the way.
Rochelle held a deep love for her family, and although she physically lived far away, could often be found on the phone with one of her family members. Her love for her nieces and nephews was undeniable as she made each of them feel special every time she visited.
Rochelle was predeceased by her maternal grandfather, Ken Kile. She is survived by her parents: Randy & Cindy Simpson, her siblings: Krystal Watson (Todd), Chantal Chiu (Jeremy), Janelle Simpson, Michael Simpson (Julia) and Joel Simpson, her grandparents: Jeanette Kile and Basil & Yvonne Simpson, and her nieces and nephews: Jonah, Eden & Micah Chiu, Markus, Katy & Emma Watson and Rowen Simpson. She is also survived by her beloved Chocolate Lab, Halle.
