DeWitt Johnston, beloved member of the Covenant United Methodist Church family, passed away on May 10, 2024, at the age of 77.
Born on February 14, 1947, Dewitt persisted through many challenges in his life, facing them with resourcefulness and a cheerful spirit. He connected with many people in the Culver Road/Parsells Avenue neighborhood, and later in the nursing homes where he lived.
The church was important to him, and until health issues limited his mobility, he found ways to be helpful around the church, including running the church’s sound board during worship. DeWitt was in church whenever transportation could be arranged.
DeWitt did wordsearch puzzles, played computer card games, and participated in bingo. He enjoyed the company of dogs and cats.
In his later years, DeWitt could often be seen sitting in his wheelchair in the lobby of the nursing home or outside if weather permitted. DeWitt will be remembered for the playful, joking way he endeared himself to his friends in the church, the staff at his nursing home, and everyone he met.
A Celebration of Life will be held at the Covenant United Methodist Church, 1124 Culver Road, Rochester, New York at 11:00 a.m. on Sunday, June 23. The service will be live-streamed on the church’s Facebook page, accessible through the church’s website, covenantroc.org. Private interment.

Janice Grace Fardette

Rochester, NY – died peacefully on Monday, May 27th at age 79, with all four of her children by her bedside, expressing their love for her. She is preceded in death by her parents, Lyle & Anna (Rodak) Fardette. Her siblings, Carole Foulkrod, Robert Fardette, and James Fardette.
She is survived by her children, Tom (Amy) Butler, Lisa (Art) Zimmer, John (Judy) Butler, and Jennifer Wesline. Her grandchildren, Christopher, Kristen, Arthur, Matthew, Jesica, Sarah, Nicolas, Joseph, David, Zachary, Eric, and Jay. Her great-grandchildren Alexis, Skylar, Joelle, Hadley, Vivian, Noah, and Sebastian (with one on the way). Her sister, Yvonne Dailey, and Brother-in-law James Foulkrod.
As a single mother, she initially provided for her children by working as a waitress at places such as Tale of the Whale and The Lamplighter (where she learned to cook Hungarian dishes).
In 1980 she switched to factory work at Whirlwind Music (assembly, driver, data entry). In 1984 she was hired by Kodak (chemical handler and secretary), where she spent the next several years. In 1989, she chose to return to school and upgrade her GED from Charlotte High School into a BA in Education, graduating with honors in 1993 from SUNY Brockport. She was a proud inductee of the honor society Phi Theta Kappa. Shortly after earning her degree, she felt a call in a different direction; to help the ill and infirm. She spent almost 30 years of her life as an HHA working for Tender Loving Care, Genesee Region Home Care, ViaHealth, and Lifetime Care and Hospice, retiring in 2020. She continued as a dedicated Hospice volunteer at The Vincent House in Wayland, retiring in March of 2024. In 2005, she became a member of Mensa, the high IQ society. However, she always considered her family her greatest accomplishment.
She was very creative and enjoyed several hobbies over the years, which she shared with her children: music appreciation, skating (roller and ice), gardening, singing, dancing, cooking, bowling, crossword puzzles, Sudoku, cards, genealogy, and Scrabble. One of her most favorite pastimes was camping, especially at the Thousand Islands, where she began taking her children every year in 1974. Swimming, fishing, hiking, boating, wildlife, campfires and “ice cream walks” were all part of this experience. She bowled on several leagues over the years, most recently the Parkette’s at Dewey Gardens where she finished her 10th and final season (still with her 14lb ball!) in March of 2024. She was fiercely independent and never used the word “Can’t”, always finding a way to get things done and make ends meet. She approached every obstacle as a challenge to solve and never gave up. As her grandchildren grew, she began holding an annual Grandma Camp at her home in Wayland, to teach them camping and life skills and bond with them. They all remember these times fondly. Her final gardening project was growing a rose bush. A single red rose bloomed the morning of her passing, as she moved on to her homecoming.

Per Janice’s wishes, no services are scheduled. Private interment.

Carol E. Rehbach, 79, loving wife, mother, grandmother and friend, passed away peacefully, surrounded by love, in her home on June 3, 2024.

Born on June 25, 1944, to Edith (Rathbun) and Albert Roberts, Carol grew up on her family’s farm in Oriskany Falls, NY and later moved to Rochester, NY where she raised her family. While her children were young, she worked in the pharmacy at Key Drugs, always making sure to be out in time for every lacrosse, hockey, track and cross-country event. She truly loved watching her kids play and that continued on with her grandchildren.

In addition to being a great mom and grandma, she had an incredible talent for turning something old into something beautiful. This showed in the homes that she and Bruce renovated and, of course, always having the prettiest garden on the block. The last 20 years she spent having the most fun, starting a successful furniture painting business with shops in two local co-ops. This brought her an incredible amount of joy. Any free time that she had was spent helping others. She was a caregiver by nature and this was returned to her tenfold with many lifelong friends. Their visits and calls were a great comfort and she was showered with love.

Carol is predeceased by her parents, brothers Gerald and Stephen Roberts and daughter-in-law, Sherolyn Milles. She is survived by her devoted husband Bruce; children David Milles, Karen (David) Johnson, Paul (Tiffany Marshall) Milles; grandchildren Rebakka (Benjamin) DiLauro, Allen, Christopher, Ila, Benjamin, and Isabella; great-grandson Henry; sisters, Susan (Gerry) McConnell, Patricia (Ed) Barth and Virginia Cogley; mother-in-law Patricia Rehbach and many nieces and nephews.

Carol requested no service. If you’d like to do something special for her, plant something beautiful in your garden and think of her and smile. We will miss her terribly.
