Janet Rockhill (75) of Manchester NH, passed away peacefully on July 11th, 2020 at her home as she wished.

Those who knew Janet will remember her as a sweet, caring and quick-witted mother who loved her family immensely. She took great pride in raising her 3 children and making her house a home and loved to crochet afghans. She always enjoyed a good book, and also loved dancing, especially to Frank Sinatra, as she is assuredly dancing with George in heaven.

She is survived by her son Daniel O'Hagan; daughters Karen Drapeau and Jen Sowden and her husband Ryan; sister Barbara Morrissey; brother Ronald O'Toole; grandchildren Dale Whaley and his wife Michelle, Michael Sowden and Ella Sowden; as well as 2 great-grandchildren and many other extended family members and friends.
