Rochelle V. Wcislek, known by her family as "Toots", age 85, of Toledo, Ohio, passed away December 23, 2023, at St. Vincent Mercy Medical Center. Rochelle was born November 5, 1938, in Cleveland, Ohio, to the late Kenneth and Helen (Malinowski) Roberts.
Rochelle met Jan Wcislek in 1958 and then married in 1961. Together, they had three beautiful children together. A stay at home mom, she took care of the house and her family; always making sure there was a home cooked meal on the table and the house was clean.
Rochelle had a huge heart; always helping anyone in need, whether it was giving rides to those who needed to get somewhere or calling just to simply check in on you. She also had a special place for animals; she would take in any animal that needed help or cared for, and rehabilitate it. Rochelle's love for animals, caring heart, and beautiful smile will forever be missed by those who knew her. This is not goodbye, but we will see you again!
Those left to forever cherish her memory are her loving husband of 62 years, Jan Wcislek; three children, Jan "JR" Wcislek, Brian Wcislek (Sandy), and Kari Osborn; a grandson, Alan; sister, Shirley Roberts Overhouse and nieces, Deanna, Tina, and Amanda, whom were very close with Rochelle, as Amanda being her God child. Also survived are many nieces and nephews who were a part in her life.
In addition to her parents, Rochelle was preceded in death by a brother, Richard Roberts and sister, Mary Jane Hupp.
