Marie B. Rockenstyre

ALBANY – Marie B. Rockenstyre, 86, passed away on Sunday, January 5, 2025, in Fort Myers, FL. Marie was born in Albany, the daughter of the late Tuffield and Elizabeth Miller. She lived in the area all her life but had spent much of the last few years in Fort Myers.

To Marie, family was everything, and her favorite role was wife and mother. She was predeceased by her husband John A. Rockenstyre and is survived by her beloved children Elaine Rockenstyre, Kevin (Anna) Rockenstyre, Susan (Donald) Lawton-Hamilton, Charlene (Ronald) Liddle, and Beverly (Jim) Brooks, as well as her “girls,” granddaughters Brittany (Lucas) Lawton and Sarah (Nathan) Lawton. 

Marie’s infectious devotion to her loved ones will be very sorely missed, along with her enjoyment of a competitive game of Yahtzee or SkipBo, her attachment to her iPad, and obsession with little black cats. Her family will often reflect on many beautiful memories, including beach trips and shopping sprees, seemingly endless crafting, and meals that were guaranteed to end in dessert. 

Other family members who carry on Marie’s legacy include granddaughters Moriah (Josh) Disco, Rhiannon (Austin) Musick, and Jenna (Brittany) Loucks, as well as many nieces and nephews, including Lori Rockenstyre and Michael “Spanky” Rockenstyre. She was predeceased by several loved ones including brother Dennis Gervais, sister-in-law and dearest friend Shirley Gervais, son-in-law David Lawton, and nephews David Gervais and Michael Rockenstyre.

Funeral services will be held in the Hans Funeral Home, 1088 Western Ave., Albany Monday morning at 8:15 a.m., and from there to Blessed Sacrament Church, 607 Central Ave., Albany at 9:00 a.m. Relatives and friends are invited, and may call at the funeral home on Sunday from 2-5 p.m. Interment will be in Our Lady of Angels Cemetery, Colonie.
