The extraordinary Barbara Rockwell — “Barbara” to most, but “Dolly” within the extended family whose (generally!) gentle matriarch she was for many years — passed away peacefully on Sept. 28, 2021.

The end of her life was not without its challenges, but she went when she was ready to go, surrounded by her three children. An inveterate believer in the importance of gratitude, she would have found much to celebrate in these small blessings.
