Rochon Dibble
May 6, 1956 - September 8, 2021Obituary
Rochon L. Dibble was born in Chicago, IL on May 6, 1956 and transitioned on Sept. 8, 2021.
Rochon was a beloved daughter, sister, aunt and friend. She was a leader of the pack, with a bright smile, quick wit, and caring disposition. She was a renaissance woman but her heart and soul were firmly rooted in the magical era of peace and love - the 70's, and she wore that moniker proudly.
She was a dreamer with a compassionate and nurturing nature, always remembering to reach out on those special occasions just to say "I was thinking about you". Friends for life, she loved and adored those she touched on her long and winding journey.
Family was a top priority and passion for her. Rochon was the quintessential big sister, ensuring each of her siblings got in the game, a cheerleader throughout their successes, but there with open arms for setbacks. She was her Daddy's girl and her Mommy's heart, as she was their first born and created a lifelong bond that could never be broken. She was an academic, reaching the top of her class at Kenwood, Northfield Mount Hermon, UNC Chapel Hill, and Georgetown Law. Passing 2 law bars on her first attempt may have been her crowning achievement. She loved politics and spent endless hours in political campaigns, generally championing the underdog, and later in public service.
Throughout her life she loved, laughed, cried and cuddled. She was preceded in death by her father, Big Gene, and will be joining a BBQ in the heavens with endless friends and family members.
Rochon is survived by her mother, Jeanette C. Dibble, her sisters Chyla D. Evans and Hillary D. Baltimore, her brothers Eugene H. Dibble IV and Andrew E. Dibble, her long-time partner, Ron McElroy and numerous aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.
She is at peace now, and will be missed by all who knew and loved her. The family is planning a virtual Celebration of Life in the near future.
