Below is a copy of her obituary:
Drew Anne Rockett, 52 years old, of Pittsboro, North
Carolina passed away at her home on Monday, June 24, 2013. She was born in San Diego, California to the
late Russell Cederlund and Berlin Mills Cederlund.

and her brothers, Doran Cederlund and Joel Johnson and sister, Palmer Watts. She was predeceased by her daughter, Schuyler
Emerson in 2012.
Drew’s life was devoted to caring for others. She
touched many lives that were blessed to know her bright smile,
infectious laugh and caring manner. She deeply loved her family and cherished
many special friendships. She was
a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and friend who had a special place in her
heart for children and animals. She
loved daisies, sunflowers, roller coasters and the rain. Drew was known for her creative spirit and
talent for crafting, cooking, and healing stray or injured animals, many of
whom became permanent residents in her home. Drew was a special person that
will always be remembered. She has found
peace.
The family will receive visitors at the Rockett home
in Pittsboro, North Carolina on Saturday, June 29 from 4:00 to 6:00 PM. At 5:00 PM, visitors may offer special
memories or remembrances of Drew during an informal memorial service.
The family asks that in lieu of flowers donations
may be made to Piedmont Wildlife Center or your local SPCA.
We would like to say thank you for all of your support and thoughtfulness during this difficult time. Although it has been hard to adjust, we are grateful to have such community support.
Thank you.
