ROCHFORD (nee Albrecht), Eleanor “Ellie” – 97, of Cape May and formerly of West Orange and Maplewood, joined her husband in eternal life on November 22, 2021. Ellie was a loving and devoted wife to the late, Edward J. Rochford (2014) and is also predeceased by her sister, Doris Albrecht.

Ellie was a very well-organized person with careful attention to detail. These traits served her well as a talented decorator, and accomplished seamstress. She enjoyed reading, excelled in bowling and spent many years in leagues in north Jersey and Cape May County. Although she did not enjoy cooking and never claimed to be a good cook, her grandchildren fondly remember her Taylor Ham sandwiches, French toast, and peanut butter-man sandwiches. Throughout her lifetime, Ellie was devoted to her husband, sons and grandchildren. Funeral services are being held privately. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions are suggested to the Kiwanis Club of Cape May, PO Box 124, Cape May, NJ 08204. (Spilker Funeral Home, Cape May) info and condolences: spilkerfuneralhome.com
