Farewell to a Dear Friend - Obituary of Pixie Rockey


Pixie Rockey, aka Lady Pixington, (10/10/03 - 01/03/22) passed into eternity on the morning of January 3, 2022, after a six-month battle with metastatic cancer. 
She is survived by her sister Feathers, aka Lady Featherina, and her pet human, Janet Rockey. Pixie served as a nurse for her other pet human and benefactor, Tom Rockey, until he passed into the Lord's arms in 2016. She comforted Janet as they both mourned the loss of one so dear. Pixie's grief developed into a diabetic condition, which required daily insulin injections. When her time of mourning passed, her blood sugar returned to normal range. Oh, how she loved her Daddy Tom! 

In the years to follow, she brought contentment and joy with her sweet demeanor and amusing antics. She became my consoler, purring in my lap when I felt discouraged, and acted as a protector, guarding the front door against multi-legged intruders.


After eighteen years of faithful friendship, I bid you adieu for now, sweet Pixie. I hope to see you, along with Sammy, Mandi, Sebastian, and Squeakette, in due time.

To make Heaven the perfect resting place
for loved ones we adore
God made sure those Pearly Gates
contained a kitty door.

-Susan Service

Jesus created her and brought her into my world. He even touched Tom's heart to provide a tender fondness when he first saw these two kittens. God knows the bond of love we formed, as He blessed us with the awesome stewardship of caring for His precious creatures.
